A Simple Prayer

Dear God,

I come boldly before your throne, thank you so much for your word. 

I need walk in your word: Unite my heart to fear your name. I am so scattered, Lord. Pulled in so many directions. So easily distracted. How quickly I forget who you are.
How quickly I forget your goodness to me.
Unite my heart, Lord.
Put it back together again.

Refocus my thoughts. Clarify my purpose. Grant that I should want you more than anything else. Thank you for your many gifts, freely given.
Forgive me for loving your gifts more than I love you.

In confessing this I ask for forgiveness in Jesus’ name. Here is my heart, Lord. Come in and rearrange things. Make me new from the inside out.

Thank you for loving me even when I seem to lose my way.

I love you, Lord. Do your work in me. Unite my heart to fear your name.

In Jesus’ Amen.
