Dear Wonderful Counselor,
Sometimes I feel so torn and clouded by so many thoughts and ideals. My nurturing, environment, and education war against the philosophy of this world and my shattered heart that seeks a new foundation. There was a time I could believe with the ignorance of a child, when my trust was easily earned, and my faith so strong. I cannot find that child. All I see is a lost adult running from her past and searching for a new beginning to build a future. Oh Lord, I’m tired of running, I’m tired of questioning, and I’m tired of contemplating every possible avenue and wondering which is in Your perfect plan for me. I have done my best to restore and make amends with even those who have crushed my spirit. And in the end my greatest desire is to hear You say “Well done.” I long to be successful in Your eyes, to make You proud of me somehow, and to have Your blessing on my life. Your Word is truth and in it I find the ways I can please You and I learn the principles in which to live. But I am a fool and Your wisdom is too wonderful for me. So I fall on my hands and knees and plead for Your wisdom and guidance. And I ask You to hold my hand and lead me in the path of my life. Keep me from getting lost in worldly philosophy, keep me from going after vain obsessions, and keep me from becoming cold to a world that needs Your love. Establish each of my steps, assure my heart of Your presence, and anoint my eyes with Your perspective. Guide me and I will never feel lost, walk with me and I will never be alone. Forgive me for my weak faith, my discontented and prideful spirit, and my distance from You. Restore me securely to Your side and hold me in Your arms dear Father.
In Jesus Name,
Amen
