Overcome
"I count him braver who overcomes his desires than him who conquers his enemies; for the hardest victory is over self."
- Aristotle
O Father! Help me overcome this temptation!
Vain thoughts remove, even before their formation,
Enveloped by You, let me find liberation,
Release these shackles of sin that cause frustration,
Cleanse my heart from evil, it sure needs purgation!
Obliterate all black spots from soul sensation,
Make me whole again, dear Lord, You're my salvation!
Embrace me with Your love, hear my supplication!
In Jesus Christ's name, I pray,
Amen!!
