A Prayer About Rebellion
Most Precious Lord Jesus, Gentle And Wonderful God, Truly Awesome And
Ever-present Holy Spirit,
Precious Lord Jesus, I love you.
I rebelled.
I have always rebelled or I have always wanted to rebel.
I did what you told me not to do.
I knew what I was supposed to do but I did just the opposite.
I even knew the consequences of my actions but I rebelled anyway.
I have lived in the palm of your hand from the day I was born but I cared
not.
I have lived under your love but I cared not.
I wanted the forbidden fruit.
I wanted what I should not eat.
I wanted what you told me I should not have and I wanted what I knew would
hurt me.
I wanted what you told me would even destroy me.
I wanted sin.
While you died on the cross for me I turned away from you and did not
care.
While you died on the cross for me I turned away and did my selfish and
sinful deeds.
Now, I am ashamed.
Now, I am stricken with my grief and I am in mourning over my rebellion.
How grievous has been my rebellion!
May I kneel here at the foot of your cross in my grief and mourning over
what I have done?
Although I have rebelled, now I know I am forgiven.
I will not forget my rebellion.
I turn away from my sinful darkness.
I turn away from my sinful darkness and turn to you, my wonderful Lord
Jesus…my Lord Jesus who no longer sees any spot or blemish in me.
I will not forget how I am a sinner.
I will not forget how I can still be tempted and I can still fall away.
Thank you, Precious Lord Jesus for dying for me, a lowly and undeserving
sinner.
Thank you for pouring your grace and love over me.
All these things I humbly pray in the name of my most Blessed Lord Jesus
Christ, my Mighty God, and my Ever-present Holy Spirit upon whom I can
rely.
Amen
