Prayer 218

Dear Lord, I really appreciate your patience with me. I never knew how angry you were with me over my confused thoughts. I thought it didn't matter. But it does. I have committed my life to serve you and to be holy. That means I need to change what I feel is unchangeable. But you are Lord. Right now I ask forgiveness for my rejection of your standards and ask through Christ's blood to forgive me. Completely wash away my sin and restore me.

But Lord, I need your help to reshape my mind and life. I admit I cannot do it. You know how I have tried. I refuse to follow these 'old' ways and ask for your leadership in my life.

But you are my Father and I ask by the power of Christ Jesus to renew my mind and heart with your Spirit and Word. Change me completely so that you are pleased with my thoughts and ways. In Christ I pray. Amen.
