God,
Thank You for answering my prayers. I thank You that You give wisdom liberally. I finally understand what it is like to be patient. Now I ask You to be not only wise, but also patient. Though I have grown more patient over the years, it has never been my strong suit. Teach me Your will and Your ways, including how to build character. Thank You for Your salvation and I ask for forgiveness of all of my sins. Thank You.
In Jesus' name,
Amen

Being wise
Heavenly Father,
I ask You for not just forgiveness, but also for wisdom, or rather more wisdom. It is good that I have the knowledge, but I have no clue what I need to do with it. That is what has been overwhelming me for years. I wish I could say that I have made a mountain out of a molehill, but my issues are real. My issues are big. Also, my issue are quite serious. I keep asking myself a lot of questions that I don't have a definite answer to. I know for myself, the answer is to keep it simple. However, I am not You, and I have heard over the years that You are greater than my problems. I ask that You would solve the problems that I have been having when it comes to my health and life in general. Specifically I need a plan for my life and my purpose for living. So far, the only goal that I have is to live life, meet new people, be independent for at least a while from the internet, and also to be healthy. I have been living and doing unhealthy things. I need support. Doing things on my own have made things hard. I know that I am a private person, but the truth is, no person is an island. I want to be held accountable. I want to have true friends, even if it is one. I want to have those things and live that life. However, what is Your standard and Your goal for me? All I know to do is to call on You. I believe that You will answer this prayer.
I thank You for not just answering my prayer, but for hearing me in the first place.
In Your name,
Amen

Wonderment and struggle
Jesus,
I ask for Your forgiveness for all of my sins. I have spent so much time struggling that I admit that I don't take the time to take action. Even if I do, it ends up overwhelming me. That is the problem. I need to take a break. I could take a break from reality but I don't always live in reality. I am not addicted to going online but I realize for a while that I have spent too much time online and not time living in the "real world". I live and have lived in a "fantasy world" where I am rich, famous, and have "real life" problems. The irony is obvious. Reality is something that not even I can escape from in the fantasy world.
I have become not a godly person but a well-meaning "stick in the mud". I need to get out more. I live in a safe world and because of that, I have no real idea of how to live in the real world. I feel saddened that there are things that I could do and I would like to do, but I don't know how to do so or just gave up on doing it. Lord, I ask for guidance and wisdom. I have all the knowledge in the world, but now I finally realize that I am an example of the more one learns the less one knows. I feel for that reason, I am alone in the world lacking in wisdom. I need guidance and that is why I ask for those things. I have become isolated and I have become complacent, if not too complacent. I feel it is that I like the privacy that comes with isolation but even that becomes depressing at times.
I have prayed about it often over the years. I do need to get out more. I do pray a lot about it in some form or fashion. Is it true that God helps those who help themselves? Nowhere in the Bible have I found that. Maybe the helping themselves is about faith. I guess because I have had struggles with a lack of faith and doubt that things have not improved. Things have not changed. I would love for things to change. I wonder now if the reason why things have changed is because I have not changed. For years I felt like the world has passed me by. It has been over a decade since that has happened.
I think that maybe if it is biblical, I need to do more to help myself. If that is the case, then I need to touch the hem of Your garment, Lord. I feel like I have wasted my life, and that I haven't accomplished anything in the last ten years. My only goal is to be independent. I now wonder what was and is Your goal. I have no clue what Your will for my life. Why Lord, am I here? If Judgement was tonight, then what would I have accomplished? All I know is that I won't have to be judged in the Great White Throne. Thank You for giving me the insight that I so needed to write this prayer or rather, "letter".
In Your name, Jesus, Amen.

How I am doing today
Lord,
I feel great, except for the pain that I am suffering. I feel like I am blowing up and gaining weight. I don't know how true that is. I am just bloated I think. I just ate so maybe that is why. I wake up with pain. I don't know if it is weight gain, diabetes, or the "arthritis". I admit that I have not taken charge of my health. I would like to do that, but where do I begin? I also ask for healing. I need healing. I really exercise can help as well. Jesus, I ask this, and I thank You.
In Your name,
Amen

Prayer about anxiety
Lord,
I realize that fear is about anxiety. I have not been anxious in a while. However, I am anxious and I don't know what else to do other than pray about it. Give me the peace of mind I so need right now. I prayed about the source of my anxiety. I am now concerned about what will happen to me. It is as if something will end up darkening my doorstep. I hate having this anxiety looming over me. However, I am telling You the truth. Show me how to overcome it. I leave it in Your hands, and I thank You for answering this prayer.
In Jesus' name,
Amen

Prayer of repentance
Father,
Forgive me of all of my sins, for I have sinned against You only. I want to change because I need to change. I am a sinner in need of forgiveness. Have mercy on me, Lord. I am not innocent. I am guilty of a lot of things. I feel less anxious today. I am at a point where I believe I can breathe better. I thank You that You have saved me and made me one of Yours. Thank You for Your forgiveness this day. I am writing to repent of my sins because I want to be a new creation in Jesus Christ.
In His name,
Amen

A lesson in unwavering faith
Lord,
Help me to forgive and not to lose hope in this world. Remind me that there is always hope with You. This world is temporary and I need help in realizing that You are watching over us in this temporary world. Eternal means forever. It is amazing that Your love, grace, and mercy are available to those here now, but will also remain forever. Thank You for removing all doubt and unbelief. I am sorry that I ever doubted You. You gave me a word about the fact that Your Word is true and that I have no reason to doubt You in the first place. You have also helped me with my unbelief. Forgive me for all of my sins.
In Jesus' name,
Amen
