Rise to Try Again
Posted on April 11, 2008
Though I falter and once more spread my face
Upon the cold concrete…
I will rise to try again.
Though my many empty promises fall on wanting ears
Only to be dashed on the rocks…
I will rise to try again.
Though my love is imperfect, my heart is cold and my faith grows old…
I will rise to try again.
I am unworthy.
Unwanted.
Unloved.
But You have deemed this piece of waste worth dying for!
You wanted and loved me when I neither loved nor wanted myself.
Touch my lips with purifying fire and teach me…
Peace that comes through pain…
And a love that comes from fire.
David suffered but a while then, through purity of heart, he regained what was lost from the fall.
God, in the end I just want to hear the words, “This was a man after God’s own heart”.
As I rise, once more to try again.

I somehow knew after only the first line that this was a prayer.
God, in the end I just want to hear the words, "This was a man after God’s own heart".
As I rise, once more to try again.
Amen…
The repetition is very motivating…maybe invigorating…maybe inspiring. All of the above, I think. I really like the reference to Isaiah. Peace through pain. Keep rising, friend.
