Dear Father,
I feel hopeless, helpless, worthless. I have jeopardized my life, and most likely hurt others in the process. You know my sins quite well, and you also know my regret. I am lost. I though I was fine by myself. I though I was self sufficient and didn’t need you. I let myself fall to complete shame. I became vulnerable to the Devil’s sins.
Father, you know that I let my moral character be destroyed. I let my moral fiber to be taken. My narcissistic, and hedonistic behavior clouded my judgment. It is bad to let yourself indulge every whim. Such pleasures are temporal, and sometimes lead us crawling in dark places.
I groveled at my feet seeking an answer. I have considered forfeiting my life. I have considered returning to you the gift of life that you so generously gave to me. I have put my hand on top of my heart. I feel my heart is heavy. It is in despair and in anguish, and it wishes relief.
Father, you promised to never forsake your sons and daughters.
Father, you told us not to worry that you will provide.
Father… you truly are great.
My heart is heavy, but you have come to me.
I felt abandoned, but you have open your arms to me.
I am sinful, but you love me.
I am speechless at your acts of kindness and love. The friends you have provided me, and the chance to do better in Life.
Father, I love you. I want to be close to you, and use my experience to worship you, and to extend my hands to others in need.
Father, I am flawed. I have let myself fall, but I want to lift others that feel as I do.
Amen.
