Freedom?

It's 12:40 and I can't fall asleep.
I tried to sleep.
It didn't work.
Prayer has been on my mind a lot lately.
For some reason I don't pray in the power that I say it holds.
I'll pray with other people for healing, comfort, peace, joy, faith, money, relationship.
And I believe every word I say, yet when I pray for myself I doubt.
Why?

How long will the past hold me bound
to mistakes I cant forget?
How long will I be
bound?

If Christ has set me free, why don't I live like I'm free?
How do I separate myself from the sin that so easily entangles?
How so I find forgiveness in repentance?
Where is there grace in abounding sin?

GOD, open my ears so that I can hear your voice.
GOD, open my eyes so that I can see your face.
GOD, soften my heart so that I can receive your comfort.

Cries of a kindred heart
A man seeking to please the father yet struggling with self
I understand your plight and as you I long for answers
You are a man walking in more liberty than me
For you let light shine on that which I still try to hide
