Why is it so hard to do good? I slip more times than I can possibly count and you can recall each and every one of them. I don't deserve to show my face to anyone, especially you. I deserve to be thrown into the pit and never able to breathe light again.
But you a merciful God, slow to anger and abundant in love. We should be still alive and happy, but you enjoy our existence. You care for us and bless us with your grace every day, minute, and second. Anyone who puts you as their #1 should be blessed with riches and wealth. Anyone who puts down your name and delights in evil should be cursed with misery and lose their land so they can experience humility.
But you forgive those who choose to rid of their evil ways. Please forgive them, they will change their ways and seek you for guidance. Blessed is the man who fears you as their Lord Almighty, bless their family and their unborn children. Fill them with your spirit and empower them to fulfill your purposes.
Forgive me Lord, for I have sinned against you. You are my #1, hide me under the shadow of your wings. Pour your grace upon me so that I may spread your word to those who need it. I pray these things in your son's holy name.
Amen.
