A Prayer In the Time of Need

Something happened today that I couldn't believe
that's why I'm down on my knees
saying this prayer and asking Jesus 
please forgive me.

Jesus,I come before you now
knowing that I'm not on holy ground
I ask that you move away 
all my sins,so my family
will love me once more
and again.

Jesus all I can do right now is cry
because my mother taught 
me never to tell a lie 
but I deceived her by talking 
to this guy,but I know I was wrong
and I told a lie.

Jesus please help me because I'm in need
of your guidance....but right now I'm 
in silence.I don't believe they care 
about me anymore and your love is what I 
need you to restore.So right now Jesus I 
confess with my mouth that you are the father 
and I need your healing because what I'm believing
right now,I don't know if it will soon be leaving.

Jesus in Psalms it explains 
that you saved me because you are 
the God of truth it was true I 
know because if it wasn't you
wouldn't have let them beat you 
or place the crown of thorns 
around your head or on Calvary cross all the 
blood you shed.

You said in 3 days 
you would rise,know Jesus your 
words have come to past 
and you are alive.I ask this 
prayer in the name of the Father,the name of 
the Son,and the name of the Holy Spirit,I
pray that you give my faith 
and keep me near it.



                                        


   Amen
