Original Prayer

Father, I have sinned against you and against my family. I am so sorry for the hurt I've caused. I want so much to turn back to you and live your way again. I know I'm forgiven and I know you will help me to do this right if I just commit myself completely to you, but I'm finding it so hard to put all the sinful feelings out of my life. I want to give this whole situation to you now Lord. Please protect me from temptation and guard my mind from the thoughts and memories that can lead me away from you again. Help me to use each of these thoughts as a trigger to turn to you. Lord, please help my family, heal their pain; help me to do all I can and be all I should be to try to make amends for how I've hurt them. Lord, I am truly sorry and I want to get this right from now on.... But I know I'm far too weak to do it by myself. I give this burden to you Lord and ask for your help here. Thank you that you are there for me despite everything....
