God,
I'm striving to depend on you. I'm crying out for you to show me where I need to be. Lord I am calling out to you to find me and help me see the path you have for me. Lord I want so much but never realize you are all I need and should desire. You are enough for me. You are all I need. Your death on the cross paid the ultimate price for all that I deserve. I don't even deserve this life you have blessed me with yet I want so much more. I can't get past the fact that I feel forgotten and neglected so I cry out to you with a long list of wishes and so called "needs." But nothing compares to what I have already been given, a new life in you. A clean slate, forgiveness from my sins of the past, present, and future. Who am I to ask for anything but your forgiveness? How can I sit here with my plan and ask for that instead of the plan you have for me? How do I think I can just pray to you when I need or desire something? No I have no right to do any of those things. You should be the one I call upon day and night for forgiveness, not material goods or wishes of the heart. I should call upon you daily in praise and thanksgiving because you are that awesome. I should life your name higher than any other name or worldly thing and have it be the only thing that comes from my mouth, shouts of joy of how you have saved me. Praises of thankfulness that are louder than any cry of despair I have ever had. Lord I pray that you will grant me the humility and wisdom that so many of my peers have. I pray I would not envy their lives but instead be grateful and so humbled my the life you have allowed me to live day after day and take for granted. Lord I pray you will be the only thing that comes to my mind when I need to be satisfied in any way. I pray you will be the only one that can fulfill my needs. Show me not to fear the unknown future but instead rest knowing you have my future already planned and set in motion. I pray you'll guide my steps in that path so I can know that in everything I do I'm doing it for you. God help me see you are all I need. Let me depend on you and no one and nothing else. You are more than enough.
In your most holy name, Amen
