Dear Heavenly Father,
We come before you in the name of Jesus, seeking your forgiveness and guidance. We acknowledge that there have been times when we have prayed amiss, not aligning our prayers with your perfect will. We confess that we have sometimes sought our own desires rather than seeking your wisdom and guidance.
Lord, we ask that you search our hearts and reveal to us any wicked ways within us. Help us to recognize and confess any sins or wrongdoings that have hindered our prayers from being effective. We desire to be in complete alignment with your will, knowing that your plans and purposes are perfect.
We are reminded of the words of the Psalmist in Psalm 139:23-24, "Search me, O God, and know my heart; test me and know my anxious thoughts. See if there is any offensive way in me and lead me in the way everlasting." We humbly ask that you examine our hearts and reveal any areas where we have fallen short.
Lord, we thank you for your grace and forgiveness. We surrender our own desires and submit ourselves to your will. Help us to pray according to your will, knowing that when we ask anything according to your will, you hear us . Grant us the wisdom and discernment to align our prayers with your perfect plan.
We also pray for WingsofaDove, who has expressed a similar struggle in praying amiss. We ask that you would guide them and reveal to them any areas where their prayers have not been in accordance with your will. Grant them the understanding and clarity to pray in alignment with your perfect plan.
Lord, we thank you for your faithfulness and your willingness to hear and answer our prayers. We trust in your sovereignty and know that you work all things together for our good . Help us to surrender our own wills and desires, and to seek your will above all else.
In Jesus' name, we pray. Amen.
