I Just Want To Find My Way Back

Lord God,

I have been very upset and angry at my current situation. Upset to the point Lord that I have been rebellious and comfortable in my many sins. I'm unable to turn completely away from you, unable to not believe in you, and unable to smile at sin. Despite this it would seem Lord that I have been comfortable with not reading your Word and only praying half-heatedly. I have been consciously ignoring you and angry for I feel that you have been ignoring my prayers. I have been so selfish and unappreciative of the grace, the mercy, and the blessings you've already given me; that I have tried to turn away from you.

But....

In my hour of need you were there. When the people I love were in need; you provided and exceeded their expectations. God and even though my plans haven't gone the way I've wanted them to go, God all my needs have been met. Despite me being rebellious and angry towards you, you have spared my life, you have provided for me, and you have supplied not just my needs, but some of my wants as well. Lord God Almighty I worship You because you've not ended my life and that you haven't cut me off from You. Lord I confess my sins to you and I desire to turn from my evil ways. God in the name of Jesus I pray that you will forgive me for my unmerited anger. Who am I to be angry with God? The God who has known the things I would do before I even did them and spared me. The God who loved me in spite of who I am. The God who knows my secrets and still preserves my life. The God who swallowed the sinful and rebellious Israelites with fire and kindled His wrath against them when they mumbled, sinned, and complained; this same God has spared me. The God who gave his only Son to die on the cross for my sins; this God I had anger with, and for that I am truly sorry.

So...

God in the name of your Son Jesus I seek your forgiveness. I pray for the Holy Spirit to continue to convict me and transform me. I ask that I would be able to return to You and behold your glory. I can't live without You and their is no other force or power that can stand before you, that is LIVING, that IS ALMIGHTY, but that would LOVE me the way YOU do. So I confess my sins and pray that You will hear from heaven as your son just wants to find his way back to You.

In the Name of Jesus,

Your unworthy child prays

Amen.
