Dear God,

I'm sorry.

I'm sorry for my lack of faith, for all the times that I've doubted your presence in my life. I know it must hurt you deeply each time you see me worry about my future and various aspects of my life, but Father, sometimes I just can't help it. Be with me, Lord, and let me know that You are and always have been in full control of my life.

I'm sorry for my disgusting heart, for everytime that I've been selfish, or jealous, or nonchalant about the happenings and lives of everyone around me. Give me a greater heart of compassion, Lord. Allow me to love those who need it most. Help me to stay connected with people's lives.

I'm sorry for my pride, for each and every time I've tried to hog the spotlight, when it should have been on you the entire time. I've discovered that oftentimes the things I find most dispicable in other people are the areas that I myself struggle with. Help me to not fall into the temptation of looking down on other people, for I know that all have sinned and fallen short of Your awesome glory.

I'm sorry for trying to push You out of my life, for I've been relying on my own strengths and efforts, and needless to say, I truly can't do this on my own. Give me wisdom and patience to wait for Your guidance. May I learn to depend on You, Lord, for every area of my life.

I'm sorry for all my shortcomings, for every time I have made you weep. Thank you for not leaving my side, and I pray that You continue to mold me into a man desperately seeking after Your heart.

I'm sorry.
