\u201cI feel demoted Lord<\/p>\n\n\n\n
I feel neglected<\/p>\n\n\n\n
I feel forgotten<\/p>\n\n\n\n
I feel left behind & left out.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
It seems that You\u2019ve brought me down,<\/p>\n\n\n\n
You\u2019ve taken away the favors I had.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
I feel rejected by You Lord,<\/p>\n\n\n\n
And it\u2019s showing in everything else.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
But I know why.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cIt\u2019s my fault.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
I had left You behind.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
I had placed other priorities over You.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
I\u2019d chased activities & programs<\/p>\n\n\n\n
I\u2019d chased self promotion<\/p>\n\n\n\n
I stopped sitting humbly at Your feet<\/p>\n\n\n\n
I let the limelight to catch my heart<\/p>\n\n\n\n
And I swerved away from You.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
I know it\u2019s my fault.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cBut Lord, am so sorry.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
I know You\u2019re a God of great Mercy<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Look at me with Mercy again<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Restore Your Favor to me<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Bring me back into Your bosom<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Bring me back into Your good books<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Help me find my place with You again.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
I know I feel demoted but this will change<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Oh Lord, Favor me again<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Speak to me words of love & acceptance<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Please Lord.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
For only then will my shame be removed<\/p>\n\n\n\n
And my light rekindled<\/p>\n\n\n\n
But until then, I can\u2019t lift myself up<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Until then, I will remain demoted-<\/p>\n\n\n\n
And downcast.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
But I know it\u2019s time to Favor Zion again<\/p>\n\n\n\n
I return to You Lord.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Return to me in Mercy<\/p>\n\n\n\n
And lift me up again I plead.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
In Your name I pray. Amen.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
