Father-
You know me better than I know myself, yet You still love me. I don't know why I feel like I need to be something that I am not and compare myself to others. Please help me to be content with what I have and be comfortable just being the person You made me to be. I don't ever want to blame others for the person that I am or for the choices that I make. I don't want to make excuses for the way I act to justify my behavior. I ask You to make me a better person and help me to hold myself accountable for my actions and words. I ask that you help me to be kind to others, not only to those dear to me, but to everyone; and not only on the surface but deep into my heart. I ask that You help me to be reliable, dependable, responsible, approachable, and capable. I know that I can do all things if You will help me.
Please help me to be disciplined in my time with You each day. Please help me to tell the truth, the whole truth, and nothing but the truth, and to remember that exaggerations and omissions are also lies. I need to live up to my word and keep my promises and commitments. I need to learn to keep my mouth shut and be a better listener- You gave us two ears and one mouth for a reason. Please help me to repay or pay forward all of the kindnesses people have shown me. Help me learn to be around, and learn to love, the people I really don't like very much. I am a real mess, Lord. And I am being as honest as I am able to be with You, and with myself. Please help me not to be wasteful, and use wisdom with my finances. I ask that You give my heart the desires of Your heart for me, and my life, and help me achieve them.
