Pleas

Dear Heavenly Father,

Please hear me out. I know that I haven't been the best behaved, most faithful, earnest or pious. And I know that I am undeserving of Your love.

This pain that I am going through, I am sure I am deserving of it for I have sinned. But Father, I am remorseful and repentant. Constantly, I am growing and learning to be more like Your child.

There are many things I regret in this life. Hurting people is one of my biggest regrets. Now I realise that forgiveness is not so easily earned. I pray that he will find it in him to forgive me. I pray that he will find it in him to love me. I pray that this pain will end.

Father, if there is someone out there for me, I pray that he will find me soon. I am shattered and shaken; shorn of my cover, laid bare and undignified. I am stretched so thin, and yet this pain is not noble. It is not like the pain Your son suffered when he died on the cross.

Give me the courage to go on; the courage to seek the truth and to accept it even if it hurts. Give me the strength to grow and fulfil my destiny, whatever it may be. Give me a sign to reassure me. For I am lost, and seemingly alone in this dark time.

Please also remember my eldest maternal aunt who is ailing. Please look after her and heal her, if it is not too much to ask. I pray to You on her behalf. Don't take her away any sooner than she has to leave.

Amen.
