Holy God,
I admit I am
powerless over my entrenched habits and addictions and my
only hope for healing and freedom comes from
you. You are not simply a nameless higher power. You are the Only God and there
is no other god. You are Creator, Jehovah, the I AM, powerful God of the Old
Testament, Father of Jesus Christ the Messiah. You are King over all the kings
who ever lived.
Yet, because of
the death and resurrection of your precious Son Jesus, you allow me to approach
you boldly. How incredible! Thank you!
You are omniscient — you knew me before I was born, you still
see everything I do, you know my thoughts. You know how weak I am. You know
that I am only dust and prone to wander from you and your ways. I am awestruck
that you could know all that and still
love me, but you do.
Thank you!
You are omnipotent — you can do anything you want. You are
the only one who
has the power to take away and
forgive my sins. I completely submit myself, my will, to you. Heal me. Transform
me into your masterpiece. Teach me your truths as I read the Bible. Send wise friends
who can advise me. I am willing to obey you — make me willing to obey you. You
have rescued me. I know victory comes through you. I owe you my deepest love
and gratitude. Thank you that instead of seeing me as someone unworthy – the
way I view myself so often – you treasure me as your beloved child. Because
your son lives inside me you impute his righteous to me. Thank you!
