(Prayer for Reconciliation)

Lord:

Ima be as open as I can in these lines. Be with me...

I don't know. It's like I'm drifting further away from you each day. I know I'm not but it feels that way.

You're really as close to me as my next breath.

I've been Feeling like the rope in a game of tug of war: it's you Vs. Satan. And it's like Satan is getting an advantage.

My own temptations and lustful desires haven't been helping & I've just been all over the place.

Father, please forgive me (again). I know how wrong I am. Please allow me to have the courage to say 'no' to those thoughts,

If I am writing this in hopes of receiving praise; I pray this be a leaf in the breeze. Never to surface again. I just want a closer relationship with you O'God.

I'm praying that your son come into my heart and into my life. I am truly sorry I botched things up as of late.

You, father, are so wonderfully merciful, you lavish your grace upon whoever requests it. For that I am beyond grateful and thankful.

I ask, Jesus, that you be with the hurt & the broken; Please help us all, and give us strength to carry on.

I would want nothing more than everyone I know to get to know and love you. And , I've been the worst possible witness you've probably ever known but I do not sulk in pity, rather I simply ask that you shape me, mold me into the man you know I can be. A stronger witness.

Jesus, thank you. For everything. I love & adore you. Now, let my ACTIONS match my WORDS. In your holy name.

Amen.
