Dear Lord,

For the times when I....

Became religious like the Pharisees;
Looked at people without Love;
Wept at the altar but went home unchanged;
Start flippant conversations when really, I should have been talking about You;
Succumbed to sleep instead of sitting at Your feet and spend time with You;
Only choose to look at my own circumstances and become self-centred;
Am lazy and reluctant to serve;
Broke Your heart;
Look at my life and do not see the purpose You have for me in it;
Do not have faith even though I say I believe in You;
Have pride in my heart and think that there's a slight chance I could make it without You; Belittle myself;
Overestimate my abilities;
Fall into self-pity;
Am more willing to be encouraged than to encourage;
Want to be understood more than I want to understand others;

I'm sorry.

But I know I love You and nothing's going to take that away from me

In Jesus Name, Amen
