Dear Lord Jesus, I am praying that You finally give me a future in life. That I am able to look up at the stars at night and know that I have a good purpose on earth. I pray always for this, but I haven't found it yet - or perhaps I have found it, and it hasn't been made to prosper yet. I want to see progress with this, God - I ask You this as an unworthy servant. If You bless me God, it will not be because I am worthy of Your blessing, Jesus, but because I hope You see a greater purpose in me than I can - one that You know I will loyally bring to pass in faith and the abilities and gifts You've given me while I'm alive here on earth.
God, I'm not even sure I will get into heaven. My life has had a lot of twists and turns, a lot of mistakes, a lot of stumbling - sins, errors, misjudgements, and badly tempered emotions as well. It is hard to have this body, hard to preserve faith in the face of every challenge and temptation. God, this is so big to me it will kill the true life in me if You don't grant it for me - yes, I will continue to live out my days here on earth, but my heart will have become cold. I will still answer Your call, but if I am cold inside, I don't see how I could be useful.
And I don't want to be cold.
I trust in Your promises Jesus Christ, but I need to see good things in my life on account of my belief in them. It is enough that I am safe, enough that I am fed and have a roof over my head - but it does not make me useful to not be able to make a sound, to make a difference on earth. I thought that was what I was earning through my service to You a long time ago - something good ahead of me that would have meaning everlasting. I have faith I will find it, but I pray that You Jesus Christ bring this to pass very soon for me - because it has been hard to hold on so long.
I believe in You God because You are always worthy of praise, and our love and gratitude. There are so many things to be thankful for on earth that if we spent every moment saying thank You for everything, our lives would be filled with only thank Yous, and there would still be so much left to thank. I am thankful for J., my future spouse. I am thankful to You for my home, for our food, for my safety, for the peace of mind I've had lately. I am thankful for every blessing I've received unaware, as I know that angels operate often far outside of anything men know about. I am thankful for this day of life, and thank You for creating me at all. I am an unworthy servant, Father, - I know. But if I would be made fit for a good purpose on earth, I would be very happy - if You would increase the meaning in my life, give me a good task - set me to do whatever I am best at. I don't even know what this would be Lord - not as You would know do I know, and not as You plan am I able to plan. I'm not trying to lean on my understanding, but I want to lean on You Lord Jesus, because the Bible tells us to lean on You when we need direction.
Please God, remove obstacles from me, and temptations, and any evil in my path - let it be far from me. The truest part of me, Jesus, is the part of me that loves my Creator in heaven. It is the only real part of me, and so it is all of me. Forgive me my sins Jesus, every day, because I love You, and I have taught others about You in as much as I was given to at the time I tried, and do try still.
Let me know the way, Lord - give me a second chance if I have lost favor with You. You are the God of second chances, and the God of redemption. The God of mercy, and all understanding. I pray to You knowing that You are not able to be comprehended by me, and I pray to You knowing that You could with a touch destroy me forever. By the same touch that You could destroy me, God, I pray that You will cause me to live again in Jesus Christ's name. I pray that You will see some purpose for Your servant, and that You'll find me a task that is fit for me. It makes me feel good when I serve You, God - not because I am proud, but because I feel closer to the love of God I felt when I was younger.
All these things, with forgiveness, I ask for in Jesus name. Amen.
