Midnight Prayers

ALEXA GARCIA

I’ve grown up in the Christian community, Attending Christian schools, Christian churches, Having Christian parents, Christian friends; I even claimed to be a Christian myself.

But if I was living for myself, then how could I truly be a follower of Christ?

July 27th, 2014 turned my life around. God met me at my worst, He met me in my sin; He told me I was welcome in His arms just the way I was. Little did I know that He would really clean me up and I would find a new life.

Life began to have meaning. I finally had someone to turn to when everyone else had turned away. Someone I could trust with all my secrets, and passions, and my fears.

It’s been 5 years since, But why do I feel like I drifted off and I’m not sure how to get back up? My Lord is my helping hand and I understand that, But it’s almost like I had forgotten who You always were to me.

He never changes. I have. But He never does; I’ve taken comfort in that.

Lord, forgive me.

Unlike my first love who came and left, You promised to never ever leave me, And You have never been known to break Your promises. I want to fall in love with You, In a way that I have never loved before.

I want my heart to race at the sound of Your name. I want to hear Your voice.
