Prayer, 4/19/06

Heavenly Father, we humbly bow before you and say Thank You for a wonderful day and a wonderful life filled with the glory of being one of Your created children. Father, we are so grateful that in Your desire to love us You did not desert us to our own devices and wicked ways, but have prepared a door...Jesus...by Whom we may enter into Your kingdom. Father, we are humbled and grateful. Thank You. Forgive us of our sins that bring separation from Your will. Forgive us Father so that we too will understand that we as Your children have the capacity to do as You have said...Forgive those who have trespassed against us Father, help us to be chasten by Holy Spirit when we see what others have transgressed against us, that perhaps we too need to be mindful of that capability within ourselves. LORD, it is through Your power and Your power alone that we can be changed. Create within us that right spirit that allows us to be receptive of Your love to change...and to repent and truly turn from our wicked ways. Father, I want to be like Jesus...in my heart, my mind, my soul and my spirit. Help me to be willing, to be willing to change what is wrong within so that I can truly be like my LORD, loving of my fellow man. Amen and Amen.
