My Prayer



Dear God



Thank you, for all that you have done for me. I come to you in this time of despair, hopelessness and hurt. I firstly ask you father that you may have mercy on my soul as I have committed many sins of which I am not proud. I confess to you that I am a sinner and deserve to suffer in hell for my transgressions. I have been an unfaithful and uncommitted Christian and have not done your name justice and neither put you first. I have seeked the, but not found the as I have been deaf to your words.



I turn to you my father in this time of despair, loneliness, sorrow and hopelessness so that I may once again hear your voice for without it I am lost. I pray that by your grace that you shall forgive me for what I have done. I am the lost sheep, just like the lost sheep in the parable you told to your disciples. I pray that it is not to late as I have strayed far from the heard and am destined to be eaten by wolves if my shepherd does not find me.



I turn to you for you are all the hope that I have left. The hope I have is that you shall save me from doom. I am all alone in this dark place where the light has almost totally disappeared. I have lost all that is dear to my heart and have failed those who love me. I know that it is I that am at fault and plead to you for forgiveness as my heart is shattered and I know not how to mend it. I no longer know who I am, nor do I have the Strength, courage and faith to step out of this dark room and attempt to find out who I am. Every time that I did try, I only ended up further away from the light and deeper in to the darkness. The deeper into the darkness that I went the more pain I endured and the weaker I became. In this time of despair I pray to the as you my lord are all that I have left. I hope that you are still able to hear me as I am so deep into the darkness that I can barley see the light anymore.

Lord, you know my heart for that I can rejoice for I no longer know my own. I know that I used to be a reliable, compassionate, kind, clever and motivated person who once had good morals. This person that I’ve become lacks even these qualities. Lord, please I pray that you may have mercy upon my soul and forgive me Lord for this is not truly me. I pray that you help me to find you so that I may find myself. I am on my last, I have no more strength, no more tears and have lost all sense of direction. Lord I pray unto you that you shall save my sole from eternal damnation.

I fight with my mind day and night so that I can escape from this dark place but have failed to succeed. You are my last hope and this is my prayer to you. Please hear my cry oh lord as I am so afraid and so alone. I can not sleep because of all the thoughts inside my head. I feel as if my soul is dead, oh I hope its not to late…..

I have drawn up a list of all that I lack and a list of what kind of person I want to be. If it is by your will lord then I pray, that you may provide me with the strength, support, love, hope, wisdom, and faith that I need to escape from death. I long for you oh Lord with all my heart and soul. I seeketh you now more than ever. Cast out all that is evil within me and rid me of the demons that Satan has sent to destroy me. I confess that I am a sinner and that you Lord are my creator who sent his only son down to earth to die on the cross for my sins. By the blood of your son whose name is Jesus and whose name is above all names and names to come as it is written in the word. Forgive me in Jesus name to which all your power and your glory are given. If it is by your will allow me to save my family as I truly love them and long to be with them.

Allow me to be the person that you Lord have made me to be. Allow me to overcome all that binds me. Allow me to find out who I am and the purpose that you have for me. I pray that not only to discover the true purpose that you have set for me but also to persevere and walk in it. Lord have favor over my soul as you once did but this time help me to set a solid foundation so that I may withstand Satan’s deceit and lies. Bring forth my purpose in you oh Lord and guide me every step of the way. Allow me to grow in you and your body. Allow me to do your work in your name so that you may be glorified. Cleanse my body, mind and sole and make me a new God fearing person with new morals and values. Wipe away all my past failures so that I may step out into this world with faith and do the once impossible as you are a God where all things are possible.

I once heard a story about two young boys, eight and nine years old. They were playing on a frozen pond in their neighborhood. As they played, they skipped, jumped, threw snowballs, and did all the things young boys do to have fun on a cold winter day. All of a sudden, the nine-year-old boy turned around to see his friend fall through a thin spot in the ice to the cold depths below. The piece of ice that broke came up and shut the hole like a trap door. On impulse, the nine-year-old ran over to a tree, grabbed a three-inch-thick branch, and ripped it off the tree. He ran to the spot where his friend had fallen through and began to beat the ice until, finally, he broke a hole eight feet wide. He found the hood of his friend’s parka and pulled him up to safety.

Soon the ambulance arrived and the paramedics checked the young boys vital signs. They wrapped blankets around the boy and gave him hot chocolate. Once it was announced that he was going to be fine, the crowd began to buzz. People started looking at the branch, which was over three inches thick. They started looking at the ice that was broken and notice that, in some places, it was several inches thick. They started looking at the ice that was broken and noticed that, in some places, it was several inches thick. They started asking question like, “How could such a young boy break this branch? Nine-year-olds can’t break branches this thick! And how could such a young boy break this ice? It’s to thick for a nine-year-old to break.

None of the answers they could come up with to these questions seemed to make sense, though. Then a hush came over the crowd and an elderly gentleman, with gray streaking through his hair, came from the back of the crowd and said, “ I can tell you why this young boy could break this branch and ice. He did it because there was no one here to tell him it was impossible.” This gentleman understood that the boy’s purpose was so big, and the love for his friend was so great, that he did not bother to measure the branch to see if he would be able to break it. Love for his friend drove him over to that tree. Even if he could not break the branch, he had to go ahead and attempt it anyway. Even if he wasn’t strong enough to break the ice, he had to attempt to break it anyway. Why? Because the purpose driving him was overwhelming.



Just as this boy had faith lord, I pray that so may I have faith and that no more shall I see things as impossible because the world tells me so. I know that with you Lord – all things are possible.

Lord I ask this humbly in your name, have mercy on me as I am a sinner. I can not explain how my soul cries out to you. Help me lord for you are my God and I seek you. I pray to you this prayer in faith. If it is by your will that these things I ask may be done in your name. Allow me to do all that is by your will and walk along the path of righteousness so that I may uplift your name in all that I do.

I pray this in your name



Our Father, who art in heaven
hallowed be thy Name,
thy kingdom come,
thy will be done,
on earth as it is in heaven.
Give us this day our daily bread
And forgive us our trespasses,
as we forgive those
who trespass against us.
And lead us not into temptation,
but deliver us from evil.
For thine is the kingdom,
and the power, and the glory,
for ever and ever.



Amen.
