We all have these little besetting sins, whether it be our thoughts, our tongue, or well....(you name your sin whether big or small) that we just can’t seem to stop doing and are always asking for forgiveness again and again and wonder why we can’t seem to quit doing them. If this sounds like you, then this poem is for you.

 Father, I don’t understand
Why am I here yet again?
I keep doing the same thing
That causes me shame.
Lord, please forgive me again.

 I know many times before,
As I knelt on that cold floor,
Your forgiveness was given
My life worth the liven,
Lord, help me to sin no more.

 Lord, I know you forgave me,
And yet you should forsake me.
I just can’t forgive my sin,
It’s hiding deep within
Why does this sin still plague me?

 "My child, you can not be free,
"till you leave your sin with me.
Yourself you have to forgive
Or your sin, you relive.
Forgive yourself and be free."

 I forgave myself anew.
For this, Father, I thank you.
Forgiveness now I’m giving
Old sins not reliving
Free to live my life anew.
