Forgive me Father, for those things I continue to do in direct conflict with your commands for my life.  I mourn for festering sin, it’s growth flourishing, fed by the wanton hearts of a rebellious humanity.  We have been given over to our decadence and the odd becomes worse then reality, it has become socially acceptable norm.  Our children no longer flinch, avoid or become repulsed by abhorrent behavior, they now consider it acceptable, even participating in steadfast support of what God deems abomination.  Lest we forget God’s controlled and just wrath, we must remember the fate of Sodom and Gomorrah as they were wiped from existence not simply for practicing those acts counter to God’s direction but for condoning such behavior.

Forgive me Father for the violence in my heart.  This is the thing that you most dislike about humanity.  I mourn my participation in the summary judgment and rash punishment of my fellow humans as if I have any authority or basis upon which to base my righteous condemnation.  We have followed the enemy in our continual acceptance of brutality against mankind, proclaiming ourselves judge, jury and executioner in our words, deeds, cinema and our propensity to war.  We know from whence these urges are born and promoted, yet we continue to view them as innocuous.  Let us not lend our allegiance or loyalty to an enemy preaching and promoting anything but the Prince of Peace.  Lest we forget the flood which cleansed the earth of a violent humanity whose every thought was of violence, cruelty and ills done to our fellow man.  We must remember the purity which God preserved in Noah’s family, which is easily corrupted by lacking diligence, commitment and vigilance.

Forgive me Father for my inconsistent intercessory prayer.  How may I consider myself, prince and priest if I do not practice those things consistent with an intercessory prayer warrior, through beseeching you continuously in prayer.  We have grown cold in our relationship with you Father.  We consider you more a genie, or djinn to be commanded in time of want or need then the Holy, Righteous, Almighty, God that you are.  My prayer is worship, representative of my true understanding of Your Glory and Sovereignty.  Lest we forget Jesus’ admonition to the churches in the luke warm behavior, return our hearts to persistent prayer.  Teach us to depend totally on you Father for our every need, reward or lesson.  Give us a heart for relationship with you.

Jesus please delay your coming until each of us has done their righteous and willing duty to proclaim the Gospel to everyone for which we have influence, opportunity or responsibility.  Let us comprehend fully the price you’ve paid so that we may assist you in pulling souls back from eternal separation and judgment.  Give us hearts designed for Your Will alone.
