Lord my hope is that I can get a closer more personal relationship with you. I have always had trouble when it came to getting close in relationships. But Jesus you are the one person I do desire to really get to know and a desire and hope to one day obtain what I need to really get to know you.
I expect with confidence that you hear my plead of forgiveness and a desire to be in your presence. That I can really see you and feel your heartbeat. I long to feel your loving arms that stretched out and died for me; holding me. . Everything else is just a shadow in the background. It is just you and me Lord.
Oh the times that I hurt you with my ignorance; I am truly sorry. Oh Jesus I need you in such a way that I have never needed anyone. All of my hopes and desires is you and in you. Hold me in your loving arms and tell me that things will be OK.
I'm aching in my heart, body and soul because I have failed you so much. I hurt because of my wrong thinking and action may have caused someone else to fall. Have mercy upon me and call those who have fallen back to you. Embrace them with your loving and caring arms. Caress them in a way that only you can care for them.
I hope and expect with confidence that souls will be added to your kingdom. Not because of anything I do but because of you. I hope and have confidence that you will place such a hunger and a desire in my loved ones lives to truly embrace you with everything they have. So that by your grace and mercy they will know you love them and forgive them.
Oh Jesus hold me and care for me. Mold into your likeness that I may be able to help someone else. That I may be able to guild the hurting into your loving arms. So that they can feel you and hear your heartbeat. So that they can feel your arms holding them tight and know that they are loved and that their hearts can began to heal.
Help me to love and to care for their souls. Care enough to not put them down, but to lift them up before you. No matter how long it takes for them to find you. Have mercy Lord; let me keep the hope to see them smile as you embrace their being and care for them.
“All of my hope and confidence is in you Lord!”
