A Prayer from an Elder Brother

Heavenly Father, I’m sorry.

I am sorry for all of the times that I have cared more about your stuff than you-

Blessings
Promises
Reward

I am sorry for all of the times I have cared more about my stuff than you-

Home
Family

I am sorry for the times I haven’t seen what you see-

The lost
The hurting
The disconnected

I am sorry for when I have embraced my righteousness instead of you-

My ministry
My perspective
My service

I am sorry for the times I have walked past your open doors of opportunity-

Getting it done
Agendas
Time

I am sorry for hoarding my life instead of giving it away-

Time
Talent
Treasure

I am sorry for when I have not given up my inheritance to go after my lost younger brother-

Pride
Arrogance
Self-centeredness

I am sorry for my lostness-

Closed eyes
Closed ears
Closed heart

I am thankful for your forgiveness!
