Contrition

James 4:9-10 Be wretched and mourn and weep. Let your laughter be turned to mourning and your joy to gloom. Humble yourselves before the Lord, and he will exalt you.

Oh that God would bring us to a healthy state of woe as we see ourselves for what we are apart from Christ. May it's realities grip us to the point of great sorrow! May we become more heavy hearted over the wickedness we harbor in our hearts. May we see our offenses as directed only toward God. May it cause us to be grieved to the point of reformation. May the Lord cause us to turn our eyes from our lives and toward Him. Lord, place within me a contrite spirit.
