Oh Father, help! You are holy righteous God, but nearer than the best friend. You are above all and in all. All things are founded and held together in you. You know me better than anyone could ever imagine. You have engraved not just my name in the palm of your hand, but the very core of me existence, the very definition of who I am, the essence of the deepest part of me is carved into your palm. Thank you Jesus that you know me and still love me. Thank you that you seek me out and you understand everything I don't.
Right now I need you. I feel weak. I feel confused and incapable. You know my heart and you also know my failings. Deliver me, Lord. Search me and know me. I feel powerless. I feel angry. I feel ashamed. At my very core I feel these things. And they are ruining me. Heal me Jesus. By your stripes, heal me. In your awesome power and grace, make me whole. I don't want to allow others to define me. I don't want to fear man or myself. I don't want to live in an illusion that anger gives me power over anyone or anything. Give me grace and mercy for these people. Heal me of powerlessness and the unworthiness that comes with it. Heal me of the shame of how you created me. Humble me and help me to fix my eyes on you always. You have begun a good work in me. Continue it and help me to continue participating in it. Only you can heal. Only you can make me new. Only you bring from me what you intended for me at creation.
