As it is, Break Me Oh Lord



Lord, You Created me In your own image,
You have moulded me to what I have become,
Help me to be a reflection of you,
Help me to reflect your light through my life
Let me hold your statutes in my heart and walk according to them,
Help me to love what you love and hate what you hate.

Lord Thank you for your continual breaking,
You broke every bad habit that I had,
You shattered my bitterness,
You brought low my pride,
You took away my pain and every grudge that I held,
I walk in humility because of your breaking.

Do you see the broken relationships?
Do you see the almost-lost opportunities?,
Do you see the endless tears?
Well they come from a person that has built her house on anger,
I long to tear down people with spoken words! 
I rain fire when I speak.

Lord I want to control my temper and walk away, but mostly it overcomes me.
Let me remember this season in my life as the season that I struggled with words left unsaid,
Let me remember the souls I have pierced with my words,
Let me remember the enmity and border lines I have angrily created,
Let me forever remember the fires I have started with my own tongue. 

On this day oh Lord, I run to your feet because I am DONE,
I am done with allowing anger to rule me,
Teach me to be courageous enough to walk away from provoking situations,
Teach me to tame my tongue,
Teach me to Not be a chatter box,
Restore me Oh Lord, Revive me oh Lord,
Clean out the junk that I have become thanks to this temper. 

Forgive me for allowing people to manipulate me,
Forgive me for allowing situations to rule my day,
Do not allow me to stoop so low,
Do not allow me to fit in,
Do not allow me to be a people pleaser,
Do not allow me to be fake,
But in all this, Do not allow me to act out of anger again. 

Deal with me Oh Lord,
Deal with the mess That I have created,
Break my temper,
Break my anger,
Break my inability to see other people's point of view,
Break me oh Lord, I pray for your continual breaking,
Until there is no me left, ONLY YOU.

You can tell that I am nothing without YOU!
I am therefore approaching your throne of Grace boldly just as I am,
Simply to ask for your Breaking.
As it is, Break me Oh Lord.
