God, I pray to you and first want to acknowledge that I am a sinner and have been living in ways that drive me farther away from your kingdom. I have been born with the proclivity to turn away from you and I am guilty of falling prey to temptation. I ask that you please forgive me for my weakness and pray for humility to follow your word and wish pray that I may be someone you can use to do your work. While I feel undeserving, I have felt your love, and I know you are the only source of true strength. I am grateful that you gave me life and I am committed to using my time on earth to be creating space for your kingdom here on earth and pray that when my time comes you find me worthy. I have fallen short of worthiness, and I will shine light onto what I have kept in the darkness, have mercy on me. Show me the righteous path, give me the opportunities to overcome trials and tribulations so that I can stay close to you. With your love and protection, I know there is nothing to fear in this world.
-Amen
