Lord, I come humbly to you, a willing and empty vessel. I have sinned, I have strayed, I have moved away from Your side. I am asking Your forgiveness. I am asking for strength. Lord, I thank you for all You have given and blessed me with. You have supplied my needs, whether or not I have deserved them. During the times of disobedience, times of straying, You still love me. I do not deserve any of Your grace and mercy; I ask Your forgiveness.
Lord, you have sent people into my life to help keep me in the right path. I pray, Lord, that I do not hurt these people, and that they continue to be there for me. You have sent people into my life who need a touch from You through me. I feel as though I'm not worthy of such, but You know different. I have let some friends and loved ones down. I have begun to lose the fire I once had. Lord, send Your fire; reignite what once burned so brightly.
I have had to learn that I cannot do anything alone. Lord, I need You there to keep me from giving in to weakness, I need You with me to help me have the courage to stand up for myself and for You, I need You with me to learn how to love again. Return to me the patience I once had; patience to wait for Your perfect timing, patience with the children I work with at church, and patience with my family at home.
This may be a bit selfish, but, Lord, I need to get myself right before I can be a witness to others. Take me, mold me, shape me, hold me. I want to be Your willing and empty vessel to fill with Your Holy Spirit.
Lord, I am Yours. I love You, Lord.
In Your Son Jesus' Name....
