Compromise

God,
How did I get here?
Why have I left myself drift this far?
The devotion that once burned,
has been replaced with a lazy compromise.
I have settled for less than your best,
and now find turmoil raging within.
A burden too big to shoulder on my own,
but kept inside to fool the world.

Holy Lord,
You have never settled for less than my best,
yet I have given in to the status quo.
God,
I ask of You to lift me from this place.
To shatter the part of me holding me back from you.
My heart's desire is still a small flame within me,
and I need your Spirit's fire to ignite it once again.
