Jesus, I'm asking for Your help to write another record. Truth is, I need things in order to write more music. I have Your truth in my heart, and You've given me a lot to testify to in my lifetime, even the sight of my eyes. There are a lot of things that I don't understand about the things that You've shown me - mostly the 'why' of it all. Like: why me. Or: what do I have to do that will fulfill my purpose here on earth? Certainly it isn't sinning like crazy, and my evil habits. I'm sorry I've been so tried by them this past year, but I'm going at this new year with a better focus.
What I've wanted is success as You define it, Jesus. I don't care how the world sees me, I've seen enough of the world to know that for Your sake people were willing to put me in the worst of places, including the street, and worse. Really, Jesus Christ, I want to pick up and lay hold on the future You have for me, but I don't have any idea how to do that - and the years are ticking by, God, and I have prayed for years about this same question. I have also sinned through some of these years, so I know if You wanted to ignore my prayers, You would have ample reasons. I know that You are the God who is merciful and is forgiving sins, so I do what the gospel says and I find ways to be charitable because its written it covers a multitude of sins. I hope that because of my love for You God, and my charity, that You forgive me the things I've done wrong.
I guess the point of my prayer is that I hope that this year You have decided to show me a good reason why You made me, what I'm for, like how all the creatures have purposes - I also want a purpose, Jesus. I can see by my eyes all day and night the wonderful things You've made, and the awesome things You do, but that is not enough for me - I want to have a purpose.
My job is just doing simple work in a restaurant, but is this my purpose on earth? No, and its a means to make money to survive, but - working out a budget it is hard to see a 'future', and I'm getting older pretty quickly. I look to my talents, but where do I really 'excel'? What is the particular use that will bring God's purpose for me into my life? Please Jesus, help me find this. Let me know how, and You know I am faithful to work at it, to put my heart into the good work You give me.
Jesus, I'm asking for a good day off tomorrow/today, and a good day back on Friday, and Saturday. Please also forgive me my sins, - I am sure I made at least one sizable mistake today, but I am always trying to be a better man than yesterday, though sometimes I am stumbling at this.
Please God, keep my future marriage together, and bless us so that we know how to love eachother completely. If You've given me a light to shine, help my spouse to see this in me. Help me, moreso, to see it in myself. And let that light shine brightly, God, because Your works in me have been mighty, though I am a weak man. Amen in Jesus Christ's name.
