“Saul, Saul, why do you persecute me?” Acts 9:4

Dear Lord Jesus,

Forgive our lack of obedience and wanting things our way instead of Your way.

Forgive our friendship with the world and its temptations, hypocrisy, and lies.

Forgive our indifference and lukewarmness towards Your Lordship.

Forgive our lack of appreciation for what You did for all humanity on that Roman cross.

Open my eyes so that I stop persecuting You with my greed, ego, pride, and grudges toward others.

Open my heart so that it can delight in Your love.

Thank You, Lord Jesus, for loving me, a sinner against You.

Amen.
