Jesus, 
I have been close to you in the past but have really messed up pretty bad lately.  I thank you for all your blessings you've given me.  Specifically, my two little boys.  I've always been thankful but at times I've also been cynical when I easily could have been compassionate.  My folly has cost me a good job that you've blessed me with.  That job was making it possible to keep and care for my boys.  After three months, I am no longer able to make mortgage payments.  I still can't find any work in my area.  I have no companion to help with the children so I may find gainful employment.  I seem to be underqualified, live too far away, or unable to work the hours posted due to my children's needs.  I do not know the solution.  I really don't even know what to ask you for.  A wife?  A job?  A bundle of money?  I love being a father and taking care of my kids.  They make my life feel wonderful to live.  It hurts me to be a position where I can not provide their needs.  I know that you have always been there for me.  I believe you delight in your children's needs being met.  You are the good Heavenly Father I've come to who knows what is best for me and my children.  I ask that you forgive my wrongs.  I ask that you lead me in your will.  I ask that you give me assurance of your will so I may boldly accept it, whatever that may be.  I ask for clarity so I may be able to learn the root of my problems, not just spot the symptoms.  I want you to be in control of my life.  I'm not good at it.  I missed the point when I try to take control.  I want to know your love.  Let my words and actions give glory to you alone.  I also need the love and support of others.  I realize I can't live shut off from people.  Please teach me to open up to people.  Please let people find favor in me as I submit to your will.  I know that if I seek you first, all of my needs, and the needs of my children, will be met.  I am placing myself and my children in your care.  Please make a way, where there seems to be no way.  I am asking all this in the name which is above every name, Jesus Christ.  Amen.
