Hello, everyone. This prayer come to me yesterday, straight after taking communion. It was followed by a second, related one, which I will post here tomorrow.
Naked
But the tax collector stood at a distance. He would not even look up to heaven, but beat his breast and said, “God, have mercy on me, a sinner” (Luke 18:13).
You say, ‘I am rich; I have acquired wealth and do not need a thing.’ But you do not realise that you are wretched, pitiful, poor, blind and naked (Revelation 3:17).
She gave this name to the Lord who spoke to her: “You are the God who sees me” (Genesis 16:13).
Father,
As always,
I am naked and ashamed before you,
For nothing can ever be concealed
From you.
Please transform me:
Forgive all my sins.
Heal me through and through:
Heart and soul,
Body and mind.
Make just a little more like your beloved Son,
I beg you.
In his dear name,
Amen.
