this prayer perfectly expresses my heart...
O Lord God, I appeal to You in the name of Jesus to have mercy on me.
Have mercy on me for my weakness, hypocrisy, and sin.
Lord, please do not just forgive me, but strengthen me
and enable me to be a more sturdy and faithful disciple.
Have mercy on me in my time of confusion and need.
Heal my illnesses, mend my broken heart, and still the storms of my troubled mind.
Have mercy on me as I try to decide Your will for my life and as I try to discern the path You want me to take in the decisions I must make.
Have mercy on me as I seek to minister
and as I need Your strength, wisdom, and compassion to touch others.
Lord God,and Jesus my Master in whose name I pray, have mercy on me.
Amen.
