“For my pardon, this I see, nothing but the blood of Jesus;
For my cleansing this my plea, nothing but the blood of Jesus.”

Dear Lord, when something goes wrong, or does not go the way I want, it is easy for me to say, “It will be okay,’ or “In time, things will work out,” or “If I just ….” or “If only ….” In fact, though, none of those will resolve the situation, alleviate my fears, or help the situation. All that I need, and all that I must do, is pray for Your will and forgiveness. Heavenly Father, I cannot do this on my own – whatever the ‘this’ is. I know that I need You in my life, and I know that You will guide me to a safe, purposeful, rewarding path. Until I truly seek that, I am wandering in darkness. Lord, I pray for the desire to listen for Your voice, to repent of all my sins, and to follow You where You lead. Amen.
