After my mistakes, bad decisions, the losses and the consequences 

In the midst of my pain  

When my cries for human help is in vain  

My heavenly father's unconditional love is the one thing that remains and is constant 

Bad situations make me feel to despair 

Doubt and fear wrestle with my faith 

I pray no matter how I feel  

I feel afraid yet I confess like David  

Though I walk through the valley of the shadow of death 

You are with me 

Lord, I hold to those words- You are with me  

Jesus, you said you will never leave me nor forsake me  

You will never leave me comfortless 

Comfort me sweet Holy Spirit, my comforter 

Let me experience afresh the comforting love of the Father 

This love that never diminishes  

Though 

Yes, I made another mistake, another bad decision 

Yes, I am afraid of the consequences 

Yes, I feel confused at times 

Yes, sometimes I do not know what to do 

I encourage myself with the truth that Jesus loves me 

Why should I think, feel or say that I do not have a friend in this world? 

When Jesus loves me 

I must not listen to lies of my soul's enemy who is prowling around seeking to devour me 

I must remove my eyes from the things around me and lift them up to the hills/heavens 

Like the psalmist David, I say my help comes from the Lord 

It seems like I always need the Father's help and his favor  

Yes, I need my God, to breathe, to live and to prosper 

I need thee, every hour I need this 

Oh, bless me now my Savior  

I come to thee 

Grace and mercy in abundance is flowing to me  

Even now you are strengthening me to face the consequences of poor judgment 

Even now you are comforting me... 

I hear you, Heavenly Father... I will ask you for wisdom
