I’ve Fallen Again
Getting back up is so hard after I fall
Feeling shame but trying to mask it
Will God forgive me without me going on my knees to ask him?
Is a decision to rise again enough?
Is that remorse and repentance?
Or do I need to throw on a sackcloth and ashes for the world to see my shame?
Do I assume the blood of Christ covers my sin or do I have to explicitly ask for new covering?
“Forgive us our trespasses, as we forgive those who trespass against us
And lead us not into temptation
but deliver us from evil ”

When I fall, I can’t read my Bible.
A message from God feels like torture to my heart
Unbelief tries to set in
Doubt finds a hole to squeeze through
I separate myself because of my sin and think
‘If I hide well enough, I won’t have to see God and feel remorse’
“Oh Adam, who told you that you are naked?”
