A NEW DIRECTION

LORD,

I COME UPON YOU ON BENDED KNEE...

NO PRETENDING TO SEE...

I ONLY INTEND TO BE...

THE SON AND MAN YOU'VE DESTINED FOR ME...

WHEN ONCE WEAK AND WEARY...

I DIDN'T UNDERSTAND...

THAT YOU ONLY SUFFERED THIS MAN...

TO STRENGTHEN HIS SPIRIT...

FORGIVE ME LORD...

FOR I HAVE FALLEN SHORT ON MANY OCCASIONS...

NO EXCUSE...

JUST MOTIVATION TO PUT TO USE THE WISDOM

FOR THE TRANSFORMATION OF MY REBIRTH...

LORD,

ALLOW NOT MY PAST TO CURSE MY FUTURE...

I NOW UNDERSTAND THAT TIME WAITS FOR NO MAN...

SO UNDERSTAND THAT I'M GIVING ALL OF ME UNTO YOU...

MAY TRUTH BE MY ARMOR AND PROTECTION...

FOR YOU ARE OF THE ESSENCE...

DOWN TO THE VERY LAST SECOND...

AND YOUR WILL SHALL BE MY TIME AND DIRECTION...

YOUR BLESSINGS HAVE POURED UPON ME A HUNDRED FOLD...

THEREFORE YOUR PRAISE AND GLORY IS SPOKEN

FROM EVERY CORNER OF MY SOUL...

EVERYTHING THAT I DO REVOLVES AROUND YOU...

YOU ARE THE LIGHT IN THE DARKEST HOURS OF MY LIFE...

AND MY APPOINTEE TO TRUTH...

FATHER,

FOR I CAN DO NOTHING WITHOUT YOU...

THERE WERE TIMES WHEN PAIN HOVERED OVER MY HEART...

LIKE CLOUDS OF DARKNESS...

AND CRIES FROM MY EYES...

IN TEARS - WITH FEARS...

THAT YOU MAY SOMEDAY DEPART ME...

AND I'VE ONLY LIVED TO SEE...

THE PAIN GROW WORSE...

CURSED TO BE THE VICTIM OF LAUGHTER...

BUT NOW IT'S CLEAR TO ME THAT

ALL OF MY EXPERIENCES HAS ONLY ENHANCED MY CHARACTER...

UNLIKE SHE...

WHOM YOU SPARED IN SODOM AND GOMORRA...

I SHALL NOT LOOK BACK...

I ASK THAT YOU DESTROY MY SINFUL PAST...

AND PREPARE A FUTURE OF RIGHTEOUSNESS...

DEAR LORD...

I JUST ASK THAT...

YOU CONTINUE BEING THE FRIEND NO ONE ELSE HAS BEEN...

LORD,

I LAY BEFORE YOUR MERCY...

MY PAST OF SINS...

MY PRESENT...

MY FUTURE...

MY ENTIRE LIFE...

UNTIL THE END...



Tha Prodigal One...

I was very touched by this prayer.
This line >>>I ASK THAT YOU DESTROY MY SINFUL PAST...<<<
Really grabbed me and shook me hard.
and from there on to hte very end, I was/am in total awe of the man who is able to bare his sould to GOD, and share with the world these words.
GOD be with you always.
