I'm praying for you by Lecrae

Father God, I'm prayin' to You for somebody, who knows You Lord but just hasn't been seein' You in the right view lately. Hear me out...

Father, I'm prayin' for a friend he and I are pretty close, and out of all my friends for this one I'm concerned the most. He say he readin' daily but he ain't really learnin'. He been in church but say that he ain't moved by any sermon. His face weak, he ain't... prayed in a week, he wake up and just weep with his face in the sink Lord, You gotta help my man, I'm prayin' for him daily, he ain't sinned but it just seem as if he goin' crazy. He say he feelin' trapped, can't even head up the mall coz every lady's half-dressed temptin' him to lust and fall. He keep the TV off, videos just make him feel that he ain't really nothin' without money, girls and shiny wheels. The other day he told me that he felt less a man coz he ain't have a five-year plan or a piece of land and man it's crazy coz his family think so much of him, plus he got a godly wife who always showin' love for him but he's strugglin', even though he talk to me, I tell him what to do but he don't listen when he oughta' be. I'm scared for him coz there's people that look up to him, he got some younger siblings who been changed by what he's done for them but is it done for him, Lord don't let it be, if he don't wanna talk to You then Father hear from me...
God, his condition has worsen since we were last conversin' and I'm with him now and he ain't doin' well and this I'm certain. He say he tryna' trust You, doesn't wanna disgust You but he was in the mist of sinners and did not discuss You and just today his anxiety's got the best of him, he knows Christ but for hours refuse to rest in Him, he's not the best of men but Lord I know he really loves You and I can't understand why lately he's not thinkin' of You. People trust this dude, You could crush this dude, Father he needs more of You I pray you touch this dude, what can I say to him? I'm determined to pray for him Father empty and brake him I pray You'll just have Your way with him, coz there's a change in him and the effects are strong, I pray You open up his heart before the next song and when he gets home, I pray he'll open up the sixty-six book love letter You wrote and soak it up coz he ain't hearin' You and he ain't feelin' me and God I know it's killin' You because it's killin' me and matter of fact there's somethin' else he's concealin' see, the person that I've been prayin' about is really [me]...

[Misconception Verse 3 By: Odd Thomas] Church Clothes (Mixtape) Abum By: Lecrae

You probably have it all figured out, right?
Like you're the type that believes that if you act right
Then that just might make you righteous in God's sight
You've been a really good person, you followed the good book as much as you could
You probably didn't go to church as much as you should, but it's all good
I mean you never really killed anybody, never really steal from anybody
You never luste...d much, or did much, touching of any bodies
You never use the Lord's name in vain, and you respect you neighbor
You try to maintain peace, love your enemies and not hold on to anger
You really believe that you could receive God's favor by your good deeds and right behavior
But you're dead in your transgressions and need a savior
Cause you could never win God's approval with the removal of sinful discretions –
Your righteous acts of removing God's wrath is in fact the biggest misconception...
