Hypocrisy

Precious Jesus. Please release me from the type of hypocritical Christianity I was brought up in. This idea that we must all be perfect is blocking me from letting go of the past. I know that you have forgiven me but I can't forgive myself. Help me to be real and accept myself for who I am. Release me from people pleasing and endless condemnation. I only want to please you Lord and be in your peace which transcends understanding. I lay my old beliefs about what it is to be a Christian at your cross and I commit myself to you. Please teach me, I claim 1 Corinthians 2:16 "I have the mind of Christ". Lead me forward in you my awesome God, precious saviour and closest friend. Amen

Dear Lord, I know you have forgiven me for my past but I can't escape the consequences of what I have done and the person I lost because of my ungracious behaviour. Please help me to move on from this Lord, years have past now and you have seen me crying and wanting, if it is your will please help me to show Jonathan how much I love him and how much you love him. If it is not your will then please help me to see a way through this Lord. Please heal my wounds and make me a strong warrior for you. Please keep me close to you while you walk me through this. Please let me know that there will be a light on this earth and not just in the next.

God, once again I fell away from you. I need to get control over my emotions, I don't even know what im doing sometimes. I'm aware of you but still sinning at the same time. I know that you said where sin abounds, grace does more, God i'm going to need a lot of it. Im wasting away my life on things i dont even care about. God take this away from me. I know you created me for more. whatever you have planned, help me to have faith to trust your ways instead of mine. i don't know if im talking to you right, but everything that everyone else says, doesn't even make sense to me. I'm letting my desires come between you and me, i want you back in my life, and yet sometimes i still want my own way. God help me to give these problems totally over to you, this is no longer my life to live. i can't hold on to this world and yours, i know i want this one, but i need yours. im giving you control now, ive had my way long enough. it sucks. I love you, in Your name I ask. please, burn this.

dear God, Please help me to stop being jealous of all the new mothers and their babies. Help me to be happy with what I have and to accept my life for what it is. Forgive me if I have offended people with being so jealous and it consuming me. I add this as well, I pray that I will have a baby, if it is your will. Help me to have patience and acceptance of my life.

Here i am lord, crying, screaming, shouting because i need a way out. This sin is killing me. Suppressing and oppressing my spirit. Release me oh Father! Free me God! Burn this sin, destroy this lust, release me. How i need to be released, how i long for it. Everything is closing in on me. Everyone wants something. And here i am. Suffocated. Suffocated by sin, suffocated by work pressure, suffocated by an uncertain future. Here is my deepest desire. Incinerate this sin oh God, Burn it, cleanse me of it with Your blood. Free me!!!! I hate this sin, i hate this lust and i need to be free. I have to know that i am right with you. I've felt like a sinner for so long, i've felt like dirt for so long, so impure...I long to be one of your children, your pure, holy children. Help me be that father. Forgive me please!!!! And God, show me the way, show me the way. Where do i go my god? What future do you have for me? Show me the right choices to make. But father let me hear your voice that is what i long for. Let me hear you speak. Open my ears to your precious words which i hunger for so much right now. To hear your voice amidst the noise the panic the frenzy, the still calm voice which others speak of. Let me hear it! I need to hear it, i have to! My spirit longs for you! I'm nearly cracking, all i have is you, please father HEAR MY CRY I'm seeing more and more this world is void, empty without you and i NEED YOU! I'm sorry for neglecting you, for running away. But now i come on my knees, begging pleading for you, for your voice. Let me hear you

Lord you know me and you know my situation. My past is not one im proud of but tonight I met with you for the first time in a long while and it has reignited my desire to put you first in everything I do. I ask that those close to me would come to know you and I would have the courage to tell them about your goodness. Lord please change me to be more like you and give me the strength to turn my back on what I know is wrong.

My dearest father, oh lord all mighty. I come to you laid out beneath you with desperate heart. I come to you to ask that by your grace, you over take my life and show me the way to become closer to you. To draw near to you and follow your way. To live for you and not for myself. I need your teaching, your guidance and your love. Help me become who you wish me to be. Direct me on how to use my gifts that you have blessed me with. I ask you this on bended knee, from my heart. In Jesus' name I pray. Amen

Oh my Lord, wonderful, wonderful saviour, awesome king, purify me I ask, get rid of all these bad attitudes and thoughts that I've started to slip into, and replace it with a humble attitude of prayer God, not because I deserve it, but only by your grace. Thankyou Lord that I can just ask and you hear, even though I've not been a great reflection of you my maker over the past few months. I praise you God for your mercy!!
