I repent...

Of seeking to find comfort, solace, acceptance, life, happiness, satisfaction, joy, peace, distraction, and love from any other source except for the one true God, who is the perfect Father and provides all of our needs.

Of my foolish pride, thinking I am at some 'spiritual position' of being saved and settling into complacency.

Of not partaking of Christ, seeking him out, and surrendering every part of my life over and desiring him as Lord over my life.

Of being stubborn, rebellious, and wicked in my ways toward the things of God.

Of putting other things before Him and his kingdom. And mixing things of the world with the things of the Lord.

Of allowing distraction to succeed in its purpose.

Of not trusting him to provide a mate, and thinking that I know what I need and want better than he does.

Of anything that I have done, which is not by faith and is therefore sin.

Oh Lord, continue the work of holiness that you have started, even though it means showing me my wretched sinful self. I do not like finding out what a dire state I am in. You who have begun a good work in me, will carry it out to completion. I am indeed one of the sick who need healing. Be not far from me Lord. Help me to draw near unto your side, and your Faithfulness will draw near unto me. I cannot go a moment longer without you Lord. I will surely die. Lord you are of deep mystery, and inscrutable are your judgments, who can stay your hand? Lord, I pray this smoldering reed you will not yet snuff out. Lord tear my pride and self-glory and self absorption to pieces, that I may walk humbly before my God. Jesus, you are my Lord. In your Holy Name I pray.
Amen.
