The 'Only for a while' temptation

[Written in 2017]


How long.....would you keep troubling me....?

How long.....can i be totally free from sin...?

How long....will God intervene in my situations?


Frustrated as I am.....

Who will have mercy on me....

I acknowledge myself as weak human being

I acknowledge myself as wicked being on earth


How long would you stop.....tempting me, evil???

How long ....how long......I cry out again and again...

Who will have mercy on me.....


I am weak   ....I am wicked......I am totally lost

I acknowledge them all

I acknowledge that I need God's help

I acknowledge my sins against Him


He loves me....I know deep down

He loves me unconditionally....He knows how wicked I am and how weak I am

He knows everything about me

He knows since the day I was born

He paid for my sins even when I was sinning still


I know He does loves me

I know He loves me regardless

I confess my sins to Him now

I confess I need His help now


My help comes from Him alone

Where can I go

Where can I hide

Where should I go and hide


Oh Lord God...you are my God

I profess that you are my God

I confess my weakness before you

I acknowledge you in my life


I then heard a gentle voice saying

'Temptation is only for a short while, my child'

When you submit yourself back to me

When you acknowledge I am your God

When you confess your sins before me

Without hiding and running

But with boldness and trust

Come back to me

I will then heal your sickness

I will then wrap my arms around you to protect you


'Temptation is only there for a short while, it is very short-lived'

Acknowledge my presence Acknowledge me as your God

Believe in your heart that I am always there for you

Believe that I am much greater than the one in the world

You will then triumph over the short-lived temptation

I will renew your mind, give you a clear sound mind once and again

So that you will praise me on high again

'Don't be afraid, my child!'
