Dear Friends, do you ever lay your head on your pillow at night and wonder if there was any little thing you did or said that would please our God? I know that sometimes I can’t think of anything terrible that I did – but I wonder if, that day, I even made God smile a little bit.
Yesterday I wrote this prayer – hadn’t planned to post it, but maybe it will touch someone’s heart.
A prayer of repentance
Evening is closing the chapter “today.”
Many steps I have taken, some people I’ve met.
But many of them I’ve ignored on the way.
Though cocooned from the world in my own little nest
guilt keeps me from rest, holding slumber at bay.
I ponder my actions and thoughts from today
Close by my side, you were there Father, God
as I took every step, not watching the way.
I wonder tonight, is your heart even pleased
with the actions I take and the words that I say.
Gentle shepherd please come, place my sins from today.
In your sea of forgiveness as you promised you would.
With your almighty power take my heart’s guilt away.
Please speak to my soul Gentle Spirit.
Draw near,
so your voice I will hear in the night wind,
I pray.
Deuteronomy 10:12 And now, Israel, what does the Lord your God ask of you but to fear the Lord your God, to walk in obedience to him, to love him, to serve the Lord your God with all your heart and with all your soul,
