Father,
Why did I ever depart from your benevolent hands? Your mercy and love, goodness and grace never left me. You are the source of all that is light in this world. Though sorrow floods my heart, your rod and your staff, they comfort me. May those who know me know your gentle kindness and accepting love.
My foolishness only ever brought destruction into my life. All I wanted was relief from my grieving heart. I avoided the healer of hearts, for I was also avoiding accountability.
My days of rebellion bring me to tears, for I know how I have hurt you. I come to you now asking for your forgiveness. Thank you for your grace and love. Send compassion to the suffering and healing to the grieving, for you alone can heal our hearts.
In Jesus name,
Amen.
