Forgive Me

Jesus, Forgive me for saying you don't care.
When things are not to my liking,
Or go contrary to my plans.

Forgive me for beating myself up,
When I make mistakes,
Or think I have failed.

Forgive me for those moments
I act like God,
Like I have all power.

Forgive me for accusing you of abandonment.
You cannot walk away,
You are my savior, brother, and Father.

Forgive me for acting like a child,
Throwing a tantrum,
When I don't get what I want.

Thank you for forgiveness.
Thank you for your love.
Thank you for your life.

Have Mercy

O Lord, my sin is every before me;
have mercy on me.
That which I know is right to do
slips through my grasp like holding onto the wind.
That which I know is wrong
clings to my like a bur on a horses mane.
Surround me by your presence.
Seal my mind from wondering destructive paths.
Have mercy on me.
Capture my heart so it will be true to you
and not its evil intent.
Have mercy on me.
Let my eyes focus on you the Almighty.
Let my ears hear the whisper of your Spirit.
Have mercy on me.
Let  my wondering cease
that I may journey with you,
My Friend, my Savior, My God.
