I understand that "middle ground" of being upset with ourselves for lapsing, but not quite convicted enough to repent & do something about it. I've been there. A lot.

What's helped me lately is to pray for conviction. I ask God to show me my sins. I've also prayed for Godly sorrow for my sins. Like faith, I think conviction is a gift.

I've been focusing on the "Jesus Prayer" lately, as part of Lent.

It goes, "Lord Jesus Christ, Son of God, have mercy on me, a sinner." The historic Church recommended that it be repeated 25, 50, 100, or 150 times at once, while meditating on our need for a savior.

It seems to be softening me.

I'll pray that the Lord draws you near to Him.

Shalom, Dena
