Dear Heavenly Father,
I ask that You would give me Your Spirit and the life of Christ in order that I can live out the gospel in my godless home which is moving in the direction of divorce. I humbly ask that you would cleanse my heart of any idols that exist and that I would give all of the attention back to You and that You would show me future grace to come so that I can endure the dark times keeping my eyes focused on the glory that is to come in the future.
O God I have so many anxieties about the future and I ask that You would just take them from my heart because I am too prideful to give them up on my own. So God by Your Spirit take my desires and replace them with peace about the present and trust in Your promises regarding the future. O God I need You in this time more than ever. I am not as loving as I should be and so therefore please Father search the desires of my heart that may exist and grant them for your own glory and give me eyes to see that You will sovereignly bring them to pass for the glory of Your grace.
May I cling to Christ in this time of temptation because He is the One who endured it all and yet without sin and I just want to ask that You would just fill me up with Yourself, Your all-satisfying grace which I richly do not deserve but was given to me out of delight in Yourself and stemming from that Your desire to magnify Yourself. Cleanse my heart of any idols that will prevent me from loving my parents.
I confess, I want to live in Simi Valley and live life with my newfound EBC family which I cherish but I pray that I can serve my family. Promise me future grace so that I can endure the dark moments and give me a passion for my family's worship of You because that is what You are passionate about! Please God change my wicked heart inside out like You you are doing with Israel right now and will do when Your Son returns.
May the Spirit grant these requests for the glory of Your Son's name!!
