One Woman's Prayer

Dear Heavenly Father,
I read 2 Timothy 3:6-7, and I became fearful. I worry that I am one of those weak minded women who learn, but never come to the knowledge of truth because of my sins! Oh Lord, please do not let this be my fate! Fill me with your precious Holy Spirit, that I may know the Truth intimately! Lord God, please do not let my previous sins guilt me down until I am blind and deaf to Your Word. Please always let me hear, see and know Your Truth so I will not be lead away. God, have mercy on me! God, be true to me and save me from my enemies. Do not let me fall into the hands of the devil or his workers. Protect me! Save me! Forgive me! Cleanse me!

Jesus please empty my heart of all the clutter of uncleanliness. Please free me from the disgusting conditions of my heart. Please live there and reign in my heart. My dear Jesus, You are my Lord and my Savior. You have delivered me from my sins. I pray that You will be faithful to me, and deliver me from my temptations, addictions, and pain. Jesus, I am a mess inside, but I believe You can heal me. I am sorry you are coming into my heart and it is in such disrepair. I haven't taken care of it. I have built up such trash in there. It weighs me down. It depresses me.

Jesus, please help me not to be a weak minded woman who never understands the truth. Fan the flames of my faith, that it may become a roaring fire, so that I will burn with devotion to You, and You alone. Give me your strength to stand up for You, even in the face of rejection. I want to be Your disciple, faithful until the end. I long to be in Your family and be loyal to You as I am with my earthly family. I desire our bond to be that intense that I will not loose sight of You or my relationship with You.

Thank You for being ever faithful to me, dear Father, and loving me with a love I cannot fathom. You have taken care of me and provided for me in ways I am not even aware. When I am blind, You are leading me. Thank You for Your kindnesses and mercy. Thank You for withholding from me what I do deserve, and blessing me with those things I do not. I can trust You.

In the Name of Jesus Christ,
My Lord and Savior,
I pray,
Amen
