Beloved of All
Lord Jesus, today I stumbled. I made mistakes. I confess all of them to You, Jesus, and today I am starting on a journey to better myself overall until my heart can say to the Lord that where I will be is better than where I am at present. I realize I am not a great person. I realize my sins are heavy, it is plain by the weight my heart seems to carry around with itself. You said: "Come to me, all you who are weary and burdened, and I will give you rest."
To be truthful I know why I have been restless. I smoke cigarettes still, though I am trying to quit coming up. I still am often lustful and very unwise in terms of how I keep myself and my eye pure. I do what I shouldn't do, and I am seeking a better life. I can bounce back from this way of life with God with me. I have no doubts in You, Lord, but fear and doubt in myself. I know I am a sinner, and I pray You take away my sins from before Your eyes, because I am ashamed of all the evil I have done during my days. Surely if Jacob said: "Few and evil have my days been" then I am truly a man leading a misguided and unworthy life.
Cast off the chains that are sin, Jesus Christ. I can only pray to You, and hope for my salvation. You are the only light in my world I have left, Jesus. And I am a lost sheep, if I knew how best to be I would be that which is best. Because I can't discern the road ahead of me I have been standing still. I am not wise like a shepherd, I am a sheep only and I am trapped on a peak a long ways off. I feel surrounded by regrets on account of my years which are fruitless and wasted. Do You forgive and lead men like me to a better life? God, show me compassion love and mercy. I am so lost.
It is easy to be distracted when you're standing still, God. I feel like I've been so still in life that I am almost a rock. I have been praying for the good road to be in front of me and for me to be walking along it. God, if you're willing I can have a better, healthier and purer life. I can be a better man if You lead me down that way. I am not wise like You are, and I am not all seeing and all knowing. I am not totally able to discern the right way, or I would have walked down it myself already. I have read the gospels, but I don't know what Your purpose for me is. I have spread Your word in love, but I myself am seeking the way as well. I am useless without Your assistance, God, and I want to be good and useful instead of unwise and stationary.
God, I want to put the past far behind me, so that when I look back I say to my soul: God set you on the path that is best, in which there are rewards both in this life and the one to come. Rewards like Your love and joy. These are things I miss, the feeling of Your love and presence instead of the fallen state I've often been in.
I know You are without sin, and the healer of all peoples, Jesus. Let Your blood be on me, Jesus, that I might be forgiven and find a way in life. I pray often, and my soul prays to You every day. I stumble, but with You I cannot fall, Jesus.
I pray for those who need healing, who are sick or hungry that they may find health and good food. I pray for those who seek purpose like I do, and I know that everyone has a purpose that is unique to them and that is part of the beauty and mystery God has given us on earth. It is the grace of God that will find those who seek purpose, and I pray that everyone who asks God for this finds it immediately.
I pray for those who have hated me because they are people too, and they need love and food, shelter and clothes. I pray they find these things, and that God forgives them any wrongdoing they did when they hated me or did anything wrong to me. I do not intend as a sinner to stand as one who does not forgive those who sin against him, Jesus. I forgive them all, because Your love is mercy, forgiveness, and joy. Let them find the truth of God, Lord, and live up to a good purpose. The whole world has fallen short of the glory of God, and if it were not so He would not have told us so through the Holy Spirit.
Eternal One, I pray with love for You, God. I look at Your servant the lady Mary Magdalen and I say to my soul that Jesus is capable of forgiving, and changing our path in life. I look at Your saints and I see men and women who also struggled at some point in their lives.
