Heavenly Father, I did not sense your presence this week, and I was disheartened. I missed your presence, Father, walking beside me. I felt abandoned and alone. But events Sunday showed me that You had gone on ahead, clearing a path for me. Father, forgive me for doubting your faithfulness.
Father, I believe you have been reminding me of my own resourcefulness. Thank you for giving me the perseverance to carry on in your work even when I don’t sense you near. Like the parable, you entrusted me with talents to use in your service. Sometimes you simply say, “Do what you can with these, while you wait for my return. I have faith in you, my child.” Thank you, Father. Thank you, Lord. Thank you, thank you, thank you, so much.
Father, I confess to holding on to things that are unworthy of me. Keep me from clinging to things, vices, attitudes, and ideas that burden me in my walk with you. Father, rid me of impure thoughts and deeds. Free me from the sins of pride and envy, of lust and anger and greed and sloth. Eliminate the resentments and all the dark shadows in my heart that shut me off from the sunlight of your Spirit.
Father, I believe you are teaching me to trust in you even when I don’t feel you near. I believe you are saying, “I have rewards for you, my good and faithful servant. But it’s up to you to stay the course while I have gone on ahead.” You want me to keep pushing your work forward on my own while I wait for further instructions. You want me to persevere in your service. And I rejoice in the trust you place in me.
Father, I submit myself again to you with joy. I fall down before you in thankfulness and adoration, Please forgive me for all my sins, and please allow me to continue to serve you. I am honored beyond words by your love and faithfulness to me. Amen.
