God,
Sometimes it feels so easy to get distracted. to fall away from your word, will and way. I feel frustrated right now. i go through so many negative emotions i'm not quite sure what to do. i continue to sin and lust and live for myself rather than for your glory. sometimes it's very hard for me to come to you when I know how much i sin. I understand your grace but sometimes i have a really hard time trusting and receiving it. I guess, sometimes i have these expectations and plans for myself and they never seem to go right. help me to pursue holiness and to grow in repentance. I feel like i'm often struggling, and no matter how hard I try things just don't go the way I hoped. Help me to trust you more and to not lean on my own strength. Forgive me for all my sins of commission and sins of omission. Help me to put you first. Help me to grow in confidence, self-discipline and self-love. Help me to abide in you even when it seems hard or when I don't quite feel like it. Heal the brokenness inside me, renew and restore me.
