Dear Wonderful and Merciful Father,
It is amazing to even begin to comprehend Your goodness. There is not a reason in the world why You should listen to me and there is far less any reason why You should love me. I am in awe of Who You are and of the many countless ways You show Yourself real. Oh Lord forgive me. Dare I ask again, but that I am assured of Your mercy which endures forever. Forgive me, Lord, for the shamefully numerous times I have exalted other worthless things and people before You. Forgive me for how I have sought vain achievements, hollow friendships, and wasted the precious time You have given me on materialistic duties. While I have sacrificed for people’s praise, I have forgotten Your commandments. And while I proclaim my love You, I have failed to be kind and forgiving to my own family and friends. Lord, there is no love in me, there is no good. My flesh is so weak and my heart fails. Be my strength Lord, be my courage and my wisdom, be my help, my comfort, and make me a channel of Your love. Even now my heart struggles, even now I feel as though I face the impossible. How wonderful to know that You are the God of the impossible and that in the end all glory will be Yours, for I know that all my best efforts come to waste. If there be anything worthy of praise, it was by Your hand. Make my heart tender to know your leading. Bring me closer to Your heart so I can see things the way You do. Make my life an impact for Your perfect will. May I always be reminded of how much You have brought me through and the great things You can do with my life if I will be completely surrendered. You have my all Lord, make me all I can be for You.
In Jesus Name,
Amen
