Dear Father,

I love you. You are the greatest, most loving and merciful Father. Thank you for this gift of another day that I can practice my walk with you. I know that your time is coming soon and feel the urgency to refocus my life in my purpose toward you.

Please forgive me for falling short of that every single day. You know my heart, and you know me inside and out. You know the things I have faced which have drawn me away from you at times in my life. Please help me by healing my heart from all of thosehurts.

Father, I thank you for the direction you’ve been giving me lately even though it feels like tough love. Even though it may not be what I would choose in the immediate, I know that what I would choose is from a deceitful heart. I know, and accept that you have a better plan for me and that I cannot skip any steps in your plan in order to receive the goodness that you have for me. It may be painful right now, but I know you’re leading me to restoration and more.

Father, you have told me to prepare myself. So I ask at this time, please reveal to me my next step. Help me to let go of the things that I need to let go of even though it may feel uncomfortable. Help me to get my home in order, my heart, my mind, and to strengthen my relationship with you. You have already shown me in so many ways that your way brings peace, comfort, and joy. Yet time and time again, my heart tries to lead me to the things of the world. Help me to retrain my heart to lead me to you instead. I’m so weary father and I need you.

I am still healing and growing in my faith, but father, use me and lead me to where I can be a disciple to you using my gifts and my testimony. I pray to be like the tree planted by the rivers of water bearing fruit in abundance for you.

I love you, father and I will always need you. Thank you for saving me and for never leaving me. Amen. 🙏 ♥️
