Dear God,

Thank you for this day. Thank you for this life. I may not always recognize the goodness you have brought to my life, and for that I am truly sorry. I come to you today with humility and shame for the distance I have yet created between us, and for the shameful sprint back to you. I realize this is becoming a pattern, but as I have said before, I am ready to change, this time with You, and not by myself.

I often come to You for strength, wisdom and guidance. That will never change. But to day after reading Your Word, I Have been reminded to recognize the needs of others outside of my own reality. Lord I pray for those who are tired. This world has become more and more difficult to live in and I pray that You give those who are weary the strength in You. I pray for the unbelievers Lord who resist Your path in exchange for worldly possessions for I know they have not experienced real love and satisfaction, love that only You can provide. Lastly, I pray for all the believers to remain true to You and to find the courage and strength to be a light in this world. Your love is the only thing that has remained consistent and true and I know with utmost confidence You will never let us down. I pray that we as your sons and daughters never let You down as well.

This day has re-lit the passion I have for You and I pray that that flame will continue to burn strong. I love You Lord and I fully accept all that You set on my path. Remove the anger and sadness that the past has burned into my skin, and instead let the scars from that pain be a fuel for the bright future ahead of me. Let it uplift me, not bring me down. Let it inspire me, not discourage me.
