I pray that the Lord forgives me for all those things that were done in my own name, not for His glory.  The times that I would be seen in favored light.  The days when I stepped forward to take the reins only to demonstrate how proficient my skill set.  The nights I told stories dedicated to the King of Glory only to accept the accolade of a listening populace.  The priceless moments of testimonial share time that I completely missed because I was too busy making a salient argument.  The chances to forgive and ask pardon of those and for those who would either wise have gone through life with guilt and shame.  The days I sought my own sustenance and not the appetites of the starving, undernourished, unloved and disenfranchised.  The years of using my God-given gifts for my personal edification and not to direct hearts to the Cross.

It is an honor, joy and life fulfilling process to serve You Father.  Let me do so without shame or regret.  Let me cast my whole heart, mind and soul into my efforts for the Kingdom.  Let me leave no consideration for the flesh or worldly position.  Let me live this life and the next for You and Your Will.  In Jesus’ Name I pray.
