Prayers.

Father, I am left in my hotel room with thoughts of regret, doubt, and in need of hope. You know the desires of my heart Lord. Help me to trust in Your timing and Your plan for my life. Help me to continuously love others when I can't seem to love myself. The guilt weighs heavily from time to time for the mistakes that I have made and continue to make. Things that I regret doing or not doing always seem to enter my thoughts late at night. Lord, help me to forgive myself and to not dwell on the past. I pray that You help set my eyes on what is to come and the beautiful plan that You have for my life. From the bottom of my heart, I am sorry for the occasional lack of trust in You. I admit I need You Lord. My greatest desire is to know You more Lord. Help guide me in my decisions and let me always remember where You have already brought me from. On a path of destruction, You chose to rescue me. I pray that I never lose sight of that. I pray for continuous opportunities to share Your love and that I may be a light in the darkness. I need Your constant reminder that Your plan is greater than any plan I could ever have for myself. I thank You for Your endless love and mercy in my life. Thank you for forgiving me when I can't forgive myself. Thank You for loving me when thoughts enter saying I'm not good enough for anyone or anything. Constantly striving for perfection, I forget that it's okay not to be okay. Lord, show me how to love like You. Continuously give me a servant's heart so that I may always remember it is better to give than to receive. I love You, Lord. And everyday, I need You. Forgive me of the mistakes that I will make and help me to repent of the sins in my life. Give me such a strong desire to know You more Lord that I may completely lose sight of the things in this world that do not matter. I love You, Father. And thank You for rescuing me from the darkest places.

"How can You love me?," she said to Thee.
"I don't understand how you can forgive so easily.
The mistakes that I've made can't even compare to the price that You paid.
How can You still choose me? I'm not the person You created me to be."
He looked to her and said,
"I remember your sins no more, just wait until you see what I have in store.
I created you perfectly, no need to perfect. When the negative thoughts arise, I promise to interject.
 I love you for who you are, not what you have become.
There is no need to fear, for I know the roots you came from.
You are my daughter, my child, my true and precious love.
And when the thoughts of doubt arise, set your eyes on not the world,
but just remember to simply look above."
