2 Timothy hurts me

I thought I was doing it right.
Have you been glorified at all?
Why has it taken me this long
to realize my faith is so small?

If I could just talk to you for a minute.
I need to know how I'm doing.
Has my heart even been in it?
What exactly was I pursuing?

You know those who belong to you
and I question if that's me.
If I want to be yours I must stop doing wrong
but God, I'm drowning in a sinful sea.

Am I being used for special purposes?
Or was I made for just an ordinary job?
I want to be made holy, useful to the Master,
Ready to do any good work even though I'm such a slob.



But all of these doubts are overcome by something greater:

You will answer before I even call to you.
While I am still talking about my needs,
you will go ahead and answer my prayers, too. (Isaiah 65:24)
