Dear God,

Forgive my forgetfulness, I pray.  Any time I act as if you do not have enough power to work in me to do your will, I am guilt of forgetfulness.  If I believe your spirit power can help even the vilest offender to do your will, then when I do not act accordingly in the power of faith, I am guilty of sin.  I am sorry.

I must learn to stay steady and strong in the midst of any situation that presents itself before me.  This will not make me perfect or better than any other, it will simply keep me operating from a center of faith.  I want that more than anything.  It is my life's greatest goal to follow your lead in my life.  I am wise enough to know I cannot fulfill your will for my life alone. Besides your power I need your strength, love, and mercy.

I never want to forget you, dearest God, not even for a moment.  I do not want to act as if you do not exist in the crossroads or intersections of life.  When I do, what good is faith if it does not function as my moral and spiritual compass?  Forgive me, I pray.

You are
a generous God;
your power
can lift me up
or take me down
when I need
your challenge.
Make my spirit
constantly aware
of your love
at work
in my soul.
Teach me
to stand
in your mercy
and function
in faith
I pray.

Love, Andrea
