Prayer of Repentance
Merciful God,
we have sinned
in what we have thought and said,
in the wrong we have done
and in the good we have not done.
We have sinned in ignorance:
we have sinned in weakness:
we have sinned through our own deliberate fault.
We are truly sorry.
We repent and turn to you.
Forgive us, for our Saviour Christ's sake,
and renew our lives to the glory of your name.

Dear Heavenly Father, I am humbled that You would use me as an instrument of Your love in this earth. I stand in awe at the amazing plans You have for everyone of us who will come to You, and allow You to live Your life through us. I am so happy to be a part of Your family. Lord, I ask that You deliver me from all pride and fear, and especially the fear of man. May I always be more concerned what You think about me, than what men may think of me. I ask this in the name of the Lord Jesus Christ. Amen.

Dear Lord, Your Word says that, "With God all things are possible."* So if I am on Your side, on Your wavelength, living within Your will, then we are on the same side. What more do I need? ... It's up to me to live close to You daily so that I can recognize Your direction for me, isn't it? For then and only then can I step out in faith, trusting that " ... all things work together for good to those who love God, to those who are called according to His purpose."**
Amen, and Amen, and Amen.
* (Matt. 19:26) ** (Romans 8:28)

Living in Wisdom
Ephesians 5:15-21
Dear Father,
Fill me with your heavenly wisdom, which involves alertness to problems and opportunities, avoidance of addictions, fullness of your Spirit, overflowing joy, and constant thanksgiving!
For your heavenly wisdom is pure, peace-loving, considerate, submissive, full of mercy and good fruit, impartial, and sincere. And true wisdom begins with awesome reverence for you!
To you be all the glory, honor, and dominion. Forever and ever!
In the name of Jesus our Lord. Amen.
