Does this remind you or your own prayers (an expression there of) at times? Taken from The Valley of Vision edited by Arthur Bennett:<br><br>O Changeless God,<br>Under the conviction of the Spirit I learn that <br>The more I do, the worse I am,<br>The more I know, the less I know,<br>The more holiness I have, the more sinful I am,<br>The more I love, the more there is to love.<br>O wretched man that I am! <br><br>O Lord,<br>I have a wild heart<br>And cannot stand before thee;<br>I am like a bird before a man.<br>How little I love thy truth and ways!<br>I neglect prayer,<br>By thinking I have prayed enough and earnestly,<br>By knowing thou hast saved my soul.<br>Of all hypocrites, grant that I may not be an evangelical hypocrite,<br>Who sins more safely because grace abounds,<br>Who tells his lusts that Christ’s blood cleanseth them,<br>Who reasons that God cannot cast him into hell, for his is saved,<br>Who loves evangelical preaching, churches, Christians, but lives Unholily.<br><br>My mind is a bucket without a bottom,<br>With no spiritual understanding,<br>No desire for the Lord’s Day,<br>Ever learning but never reaching the truth,<br>Always at the gospel-well but never holding water.<br><br>My conscience is without conviction or contrition,<br>With nothing to repent of.<br>My will is without power of decision or resolution.<br>My heart is without affection, and full of leaks.<br>My memory has no retention,<br>So I forget so easily the lessons learned,<br>And thy truths seep away.<br>Give me a broken heart that yet carries home the water of grace.
