Lay It Down & Let It Go

Lord, it's so hard to fight this battle of the mind.  Once step forward, two steps back.

I get so distracted and before I realize it, I've been pulled back into the mire of offense, hurt, indignation, pride, guilt, blame, judging, comparing, assuming, resenting, hating.

I want to let it all go; lay it all down at Your feet; let You be the one to take care of it all.

I hand it over and then I take it back again.  Lay it down, pick it up.

I want to lay it down and leave it there. Let You clean my heart and mind and make me humble and innocent and naive and trusting and loving and gracious and understanding and forgiving.
