I know about the need at least.

Jesus,

I have gone and done too much.  Help me to draw on my experiences so that I could write to You. You know of my life and You know that I want to change, but I am overwhelmed and give up too easily.  I just don't know how to go about it other than to forget the advice I have been given.  I need Your help, Lord.  I ask You for assistance in this manner and I thank You in advance for You have lent an ear to my represent.

Sincerely,

Psalm 25

  To you, O Lord, I lift up my soul.
2 O my God, in you I  ptrust;
qlet me not be put to shame;
rlet not my enemies exult over me.
3 Indeed, snone who wait for you shall be put to shame;
they shall be ashamed who are twantonly utreacherous.
4 vMake me to know your ways, O Lord;
teach me your paths.
5 Lead me in your wtruth and teach me,
for you are the God of my salvation;
for you I wait all the day long.
6 Remember your xmercy, O Lord, and your steadfast love,
yfor they have been from of old.
7 Remember not zthe sins of my youth or my transgressions;
according to your asteadfast love remember me,
for the sake of your goodness, O Lord!
8 bGood and upright is the Lord;
therefore he cinstructs sinners in the way.
9 He leads the humble in what is right,
and teaches the humble his way.
10 All the paths of the Lord are dsteadfast love and faithfulness,
for those who keep his covenant and his testimonies.
11 For your ename's sake, O Lord,
pardon my guilt, for it is fgreat.
12 Who is the man who fears the Lord?
Him cwill he instruct in the way that he should choose.
13 His soul shall gabide in well-being,
and his hoffspring ishall inherit the land.
14 jThe friendship2 of the Lord is for those who fear him,
and he makes known to them his covenant.
15 My keyes are ever toward the Lord,
for he will lpluck my feet out of the net.
16 mTurn to me and be gracious to me,
for I am lonely and afflicted.
17 The troubles of my heart are enlarged;
bring me out of my distresses.
18 nConsider my affliction and my trouble,
and forgive all my sins.
19 Consider how many are my foes,
and with what violent hatred they hate me.
20 Oh, guard my soul, and deliver me!
oLet me not be put to shame, for I take refuge in you.
21 May integrity and uprightness preserve me,
for I wait for you.
22 pRedeem Israel, O God,
out of all his troubles.

Father, I thank You for this prayer.  Not only does it inspire great comfort, it is a prayer for the heartfelt.  I thank You again.

Amen

Questions about a change for a change

Dear Heavenly Father,

How do I overcome guilt from the past and my obsessive thoughts?  I guess this is an obsessive thought.  I realize that my obsessive thoughts won't go away overnight.  Sometimes, I get tired and I hate OCD.  Meanwhile there are times when OCD has drawn me closer to You.  Help me.  I ask that You would give me the wisdom to overcome not just the OCD, but change my mindset and obsessive ways of thinking.  There are times when I am not sure if I obsess about weight or because of certain factors, my weight is obviously an issue.  It is one of a few issues that I can present to You.  I also ask that You would give me guidance and direction when it comes to my health and my overall way of living.  Thank You for answering my prayers.

In Jesus' name,


Amen

Walking on eggshells

Lord,

Help me to see that only I am in need of change.  Whatever the reason for what I do, or not do, I realize that I need to change. I have grown to live on eggshells and I find it annoying.  I do wonder if speaking up for myself would work.  Lord, show me what I need to do to live with someone who I can be myself or make even the slightest mistake on.  I just want to be free to be myself.  Lord, help me.  I thank You for Your answer, and forgiveness.

Sincerely,

My discovery and help needed

Father,

I have recently discovered that I am just obsessed and feel like I can do nothing about it.  I tire of things taking forever to figure out.  I also tire of not knowing what to do.  I need help.  I ask that You would help me not just deal with, but overcome my obsession with food, infidelity, and other things. I would like to be healed.  I have asked Jesus to heal me but I still have the same issues.  I have been paying attention to the fact that I tire of being so "perfect" and having all-or-nothing thinking.  I don't wish to be morally gray.  I just don't wish to feel bad about making a mistake.

I don't want to start over.  My health is something that really is important.  I know that I have done things that are the opposite of that, but You and taking care of myself are my first priorities.  I love everyone, especially my family and cat, too.  I have know idea what I am doing when it comes to my weight.  It is as if I am too tired or too lazy to do the right thing.  It is true that I feel this way, but deep down I am afraid of failure.  It has been like this for a while now and I want to change.  I ask not just for forgiveness of sins, but also for guidance.

Where should I do?  I have been alone and I don't want to be alone or rather, go at it alone.  It is like a puzzle I have trying to piece together even though I know of have an idea mentally. Why am I truly like this?  I fear that I will never change my way of thinking or doing things.  I tire of struggle.  I just don't trust myself anymore.  It is not I, but Jesus Christ, and I ask Him for healing and for continued forgiveness and guidance.  Help me be wise.  Show me how to use wisdom in this situation.  I thank You in advance for Your answer.

In Jesus' Name

Amen

Prayer of thanks for God's forgiveness

Heavenly Father,

Thank You for Your forgiveness.  Jesus, I know that You forgive sins.  Your word says so.  Thank You.  As far as the east is from the west, so have my sins been forgiveness.  Thank You.  I miss writing here.  It has been a while and I just got tired.  I am no longer tired.  I feel energized.  Thank You for You worthy of thanks and praise.

Sincerely,
