Grasping for the Wind: A Prayer for Help

A Prayer for Help

God my father, Holy of Holies,
Forgive me my sins,
Take away my guilt and shame,
Let me place my crown at your feet,
Let me have nothing, for I deserve nothing,
I have trespassed against you.

Make me lower than all your creatures,
For I am less than the snake,
Evil and Wicked, Selfish and lazy,
I crawl on my belly to your throne.

Take my guilt and shame,
Cast it into the Abyss,
Destroy it utterly,
Let me be a new creation,
Able to create for your glory.

Cleanse me, O My God!

Otter -

I'm so pleased to see someone finally taking an appropriate attitude toward God! No demanding of favors, no expectation that God will be your buddy, but recognition that He is the Creator, and you are the created, and fall short of His Glory.

I do hope you will find time to visit my church's online discussion forum at www.landoverbaptist.net. It sounds to me like you have all the makings of a True Christian, even if you're currently attending a non-fundamentalist church.

Glory!

PS - I do hope that your name, Otter, doesn't mean that you're some sort of a "furry" with a "fursuit". I'm sorry, I can't write what that all means because it's simply too disgusting. Just recall that God Hates Furries!
