Daily Prayer - Forgive my prayers

Good Monday morning, my friends
 
I think all of us occasionally or even frequently take our relationship with God for granted.  We have this incredible, unique privilege of coming to our Father in prayer and we do so without thought, without preparation, without the proper frame of mind.
 
And yet, even so, He listens.
 
Let us confess and repent.
 

Grace and peace be yours in abundance,
Bruce 
 
 
Abba, Father,
forgive my prayers.

Forgive all the misguided prayers I have prayed.
All the selfish prayers.
All the self-righteous prayers.
All the stupid prayers.
All the small-faith prayers.
 
Forgive the prayers I have "preached"
instead of truly prayed.
 
Forgive the times I have only
or mostly
mouthed the words.
 
Forgive the countless times
I have prayed only what was on my heart,
not even bothering to seek what was on your heart.
 
Forgive the weak prayers.
The manipulative prayers.
The faithless prayers.
The feckless prayers.
The fraudulent prayers.
 
Forgive, Lord,
and thank you more than I can say
that you still listen...
after all that.
Amen.
