We will all die, we will all cry, we will all win if we conquer sin.
Sin can come in many forms, it can lead us to places that make us feel bad and sad, it can take hold of all of our life, and make us live in a negative life.
We can win and repent, we can choose to live a life that wins with no sin.
We will all fall, like Jesus did, but we can all choose to get up and continue on.
Life will lead us to many places, we may suffer, we may have all we need, we may just be getting tested to see if we are truly good or bad.
May we all keep going, never give up, forgive, love and always choose life.
For God told us of the struggles we will have, the choices between good and bad.
Lifting prayers to God, today and always.
In my most venerable state, I opened up my soul,
I gave you every hidden piece, I gave you all control.
I thought your ear was listening, a safe and gentle place,
But you took what I confided and threw it in my face.
As my confidant you knew the weight of what I bore,
Yet still you turned my trust to pain, my secrets out the door.
My heart aches from the knowledge that my safest place was lies,
The one I called my shelter sold me out before my eyes.
I'm laying in a pool of tears, no answer, no reply,
As humans we still feel the hurt, however hard we try.
How do I release this ache when no apology came?
How do I forgive the wound when you won't own the blame?
Will I ever trust again, will I dare to feel that free?
Or will this betrayal shadow every soul I let me see?
Loves you have the power, the power to win, the power to create and live without sin.
Loves you are the one, the one that can change all of your life, life is a blessing, life is your gift so use it to all of its glory and carry it forward with all of your spirit.
Loves if you fall, do not give up, remember falling is part of learning, so get up and try again.
Loves life will be hard, it may be to easy, it may be boring, it may leave you in shock, but remember you have choices so learn, give, love, forgive and move forward.
Love I wish you well on your journey through this life, may all of your days be bright with light and blessings.
Lifting prayers to God, today and always.
Forgive the man I am today,
Why won’t the past just go away?
The child inside still bears the weight
Of pain that slowly turned to hate.
Forgive the walls I still hold high,
The silent tears, the hollow lie.
The angry words, the pride, the shame,
The countless times I placed the blame.
I cannot change one yesterday,
Or wish the darkest nights away.
Every morning brings another fight
Between my darkness and my light.
Please, dear God, show me the way.
One broken step past yesterday.
Some days I stand. Some days I fall.
Some days the darkness still takes it all.
So judge me not by where I’ve been,
But by the fight I have within.
I wish this story would just end…
Instead, tomorrow starts again.
My heart feels heavy, filled with pain,
I know I’ve stumbled, failed again.
I didn’t mean to cause you grief,
But Lord, I long for sweet relief.
Forgive me, Lord, and make me new,
Shine your light, my soul renew.
In your mercy, I will stand,
Safe forever in your hand.
Beneath the darkness, lost the sun.
I seek your grace for all I’ve done.
Your love is kind, your truth is near,
You wipe away my every tear
Take my sorrow, take my shame,
Lift me higher in your name.
Through the storm, I’ll sing to you,
Faithful God, forever true.
Please forgive my silence,
a timid "goodbye" lodges in my throat;
your departure rolls heavy through me, like a boulder
and only my eyes can bade farewell.
Who would've thought that the rainbow
doesn't really belong with the sky?
It was merely a crossing of paths,
the brief embrace of sun and rain.
What I once mistook
as the synchronised rhythm of two hearts
has become a museum artifact;
like a vase, once cleaned daily,
now left to gather dust.
And though I push myself onwards,
though we were the wrong people
who met at the wrong time,
it's hard to ignore the splash of grey
that spreads through my heart.
We were the sparks that never caught fire
but the warmth we created was very real.
For that, I will be forever grateful-
for your company
in one of the coldest periods of my life.
I'm sorry for the things I said.
neither of us were perfect,
but I hope that somewhere, in a parallel universe,
another version of me got to love you properly—
to treat you as I longed to,
and as you deserved.
I wish them every happiness.
And I wish the same for you.
I Forgive the Past Me
I forgive the girl
who stayed quiet
when she should’ve screamed.
The one who apologized
for taking up space,
for feeling too much,
for not being enough
for people who never planned to stay.
I forgive the nights
she cried herself empty
and still woke up pretending
she was fine.
I forgive the way
she held onto people
with shaking hands,
even after they gave her
every reason to let go.
I forgive her for believing
love had to hurt
to be real.
For every bad decision
made from loneliness.
For every tear hidden
behind fake smiles.
For every moment
she blamed herself
for things she never broke.
I forgive the anger.
The fear.
The sadness she carried
like it was stitched into her skin.
Because she was surviving
the only way she knew how.
And maybe she was messy.
Maybe she was broken open
more times than she deserved.
But she kept going.
Even when her heart was tired.
Even when nobody noticed.
So I forgive the past me.
Not because the pain
didn’t matter—
but because she does.
Praise God, for all my days, for all the times I was led to make better days.
I remember days that looked dark and gloomy, yet I made it through.
Praise God, for all the ways that made me find my ways, times when I was lost, I prayed to find my way.
Today, I thank God for finding a clear path forward away from bad paths and leading me to find sunny and friendly days.
Praise God, for all my happy days, may each one of us find our path to all sunny and happy days.
We are here for a short time, so pray, love, forgive, and remember each day as we move ahead.
Lifting prayers to God, today and always.
Life is not just about assets, there is much more than that.
Life is a journey, we leave a path, a story, a legacy for others to see and follow.
All of our life is a story, the ups and downs, God told us that our life is our gift to him, that our choices our corrections, our joys and failures are all part of us, we are the creators, we make our destiny by our actions.
God also told us that we are not alone, that there are negative forces, forces that want us to fail, to fall, to suffer.
Life is a journey, a map, a road, all created by you, you can always change, grow, and make new, so make way that will make all of your dream life come true.
Life is a gift, each moment, each choice, is yours, so pick and go forward into life with positive ways and love in your pocket for life.
Yes, we want you to succeed to make all of your dreams come true, so love and forgive, and remember you are the creator of your life.
Lifting prayers to God, today and always.
They forgot my birthday, I thought it was a joke, I waited all day for the big moment.
I sat and waited for the cake, but they never made the cake or said happy birthday.
I was about 9, when they forgot, they must have had more important things on their mind.
Birthdays are important and we like to feel loved, so for all that have had their birthday forgotten I say Happy Birthday to all.
Life will test us, it will do things we can never imagine, we will wonder if this is some kind of test.
Forgetting us in ways and times, can make us feel down, so you need to know that you are not alone.
Birthdays and events will come and go, but you always have yourself to love and care for you, like an artist makes mistakes we learn from all the cracks in life, so fill them in with love and care.
So, celebrate today and all your days, love yourself, forgive, and make yourself number one, and never let anyone take you down.
Lifting prayers to God, today and always
Choose to forgive, release heart’s pain,
viewing life as a dream,
where we bled to cleanse our soul’s stain,
thus inner light redeem.
To be here and now free,
acceptance holds the key,
to wander earth carefree.
Breathe easy, live ~
Choose to forgive
Praise God for all the good, the times he corrected us and made us new.
Praise God for all the times we fell, we prayed and prayed and found our path back to God.
Praise God for all of our life, for giving us a way to correct ourself.
Praise God for all of our lessons, for the times we suffered and it made us learn correction.
Praise God for the light, for shining thoughts into us that gave us insight into ways to correct ourself.
Praise God for always being there, for freeing us to make our own choices and for giving us all the things we love.
Praise God today and always, we pray for all to feel well, to forgive, to learn, to grow and become all the positive things in life and beyond.
Why are you down, why are you mad, life changes, and things do not stay the same, think of the clown and smile, for everything changes just like the clouds.
Life can be beautiful, don’t throw it away, try to feel good, and choose another path, get on a path that is smooth like silk, one that makes you feel like dancing around.
I get it, sometimes life can get us down, it can get us unhappy and make us act out, but choose another way to vent, like the wind push the thoughts to another part of town, don’t throw it all away.
Life is the best, it has its ups and downs, like a road twisting, it can get us sick and sometimes make us feel bliss.
Don’t throw it all away, love and forgive, move forward and never throw your life away.
Lifting prayers to God, today and always.
O God, forgive us,
and accept our repentance,
have mercy on us,
for You are the Forgiving,
Merciful, and Acceptor!
Please, note that Acceptor means The Accepter of Repentance.

Forgive Us Our Sins
Oh Father God, we are sometimes weaker than the devil
We are sometimes tempted by what we feel
It seems that the world is strong enough to pull me
Pull me away, push me away from Thee
Oh Jesus, be my strength
For my sins have reached their fullest length
My Savior is my hope for everlasting joy!
