Original Prayer

Dear God, I can't seem to be obedient to your will for me. I know you want so many good things for me but I keep pushing it away. I am lazy and soft. I don't seem to care in the moment. I am easily pushing you away in moments of temptation. I need your forgiveness and understanding. I also pray for a stronger sense of your presence when I am being tempted to do things I should not be doing. I know that right now you are wanting me to be accountable for the gifts you give me, being money, food time etc. I am wasting and feeling badly. It is such a habit to give into myself that I know I can't do this without you. Help me to be obedient to you dear God. I want your will for my life, I am sick of being distracted by other things. I want to surrender fully to your will and I need your help in so many areas. You are my strength when I am weak, I pray that you would use my weaknesses for your purpose. Amen
