Lord I'm sorry
for i have sinned against you.
Even when tou stood by me gently calling my name
i turned from you,
for my desires were too great.
Even when you warned me
i ignored you.
Even when you gently said, "put me above all"
i ignored you.
How can it be
that i paid no heed to all your efforts?
that i gave in,
at first thinking it was for you
and turning it into an obsession,
an idol put above you
that i worshipped it
day and night
till it consumed my mind
is it so easy to talk about worldly things,
yet not about God?
to see as you do?
to obey?
Lord i tell you that i am truly sorry. yet i know i will disappoint you again so therefore Lord, i ask for your forgiveness for my recent crimes and the ones to be committed. That you will help me to resist. That i will "not be overcome by evil but overcome evil with good"
in your son's precious name i pray, amen.
