Dear Father,

You are the best! Thank you for your message today that was so very needed and as always, timely and direct.

Father, forgive me for not seeing myself through YOUR eyes. Please forgive me for believing I’m not good, not good enough, not worthy of more, and for not believing when someone genuinely tries to show me that I am more than I believe. Help me to accept it and believe it. Help me to break the cycle of accepting less than that because it is what feels familiar and comfortable, because I KNOW that will lead me in a circle right back to the same sorrows and the same suffering.

Thank you, Father, for opening my eyes this time to see that pattern and to not allow myself to seek comfort in the familiar.

Help me to remember to come to you as I am, in honesty and unafraid to speak to you, as you call me to.

Father please, I pray with my entire being, bring my loved ones…friends and family…who don’t already know you and those who do but are building a wall of protection around their hearts that is only blocking you and love out for fear of hurt or from shame, to you. Open their eyes, their ears, their hearts to receive your gifts.

And Father, please, use me in the ways in which you need me…my testimony, my light, to serve your purpose.

I love you forever, my creator! YOUR will!

Amen
