Prayer of the Afflicted

Prayer of the afflicted Dear Lord, God and Father of all tender mercies, Please allow me to beseech you in my time of affliction, I know Dear Father, that you care for even the sparrows, how much more so you care for your faithful servants... especially in our time of need I know not of my sins, as I cannot see my own imperfections, and it is hard to see myself as you do, through your loving lens Dwelling as I do, in this earthenware vessel of your making, my treacherous heart tries to impose it's will, but thanks to your Word and the power you have given me I have thus far continued to battle my fallen flesh I am unaware of my sins and for these I am truly sorry as I must have failed you in thought, word or deed I know you alone are wholly righteous and, only because of your mercy, and loving kindness can I approach you in prayer thanks for giving us your Son as a ransom on our behalf, although many of humankind do not know, or appreciate, your loving gift, I do! I look forward to your righteous new world, as promised in your Word, where all suffering and even death will be swallowed up forever I have faith in you, that you will keep your promises as you are a God who cannot lie until then dear Father, please help me to endure my afflictions, to endure this wicked world and it's sadistic ruler until your time comes to step into human affairs once again, please continue to bless me even though I am nothing but dust; but, you in your Majestic Mercy and Loyal Love of Righteousness understand my incompleteness and forgive In Jesus name, Amen John Derek Hamilton August 23,2019
