Prayers from a contrite heart.

God I give it all up.
I need you. I am desperate for you.
Without your intervention I am a lost soul
left to my own devices.
This life is not easy-and you never promised it would be
but you promised you would never fail me
and your promises never fail.

You are a God who never fails,
and I will rejoice in that.
Despite my circumstances you remain good
you sustain me, give me the strength to carry on
and remind me that I have a purpose worth living for.

Your purposes for me are unfathomable
I cannot comprehend the amazing glory you have in store for those who seek you
Jesus you are the center of all I live for
You are the reason for everything good in this world
Everything worth suffering for
Love is not shown when it is easy to forgive
But it is shown when forgiveness is given to those undeserving
I am undeserving.
Thank you Jesus for your amazing Love.

Father I repent for my sins
I repent for my frustration and anger towards you
You shower mercy on me every day
When I deserve your anger and wrath
But yet I pour anger and wrath on you
for things undeserving
Father you deserve my worship, you deserve my praise
I will serve you for all of my days
Because of who you are-
Not because of the things you give me
But because you are Just, Holy, Loving, Forgiving, Merciful,
All-powerful All-knowing and All-present
I will live to make you known.

Amen

I recognize that all of these prayers mean nothing unless they are followed by action.
May I seal them with my deeds.
