God, even as we ask to Help us to grow, i ask forgiveness. For i am very desperate now and know not how to love as You have taught us. All along i thought we were a fmily, and we trusted You. But after years of not realizing i was trusting in myself, i now am asking to find my lost faith. Is it not a gift? If i did not use my faith as a shield and allowed attacks, please forgive. As i havent heeded the reminder to Let him who thinks he stands, Take heed lest you fall, i have really fallen. Please let others take heed and not think we're strong, not on our own. Have mercy on us, God. Dont let us look in the mirror, Your word, and forget how sinful we look and need cleansing, forgiveness, renewal. Please dont let us be separated from Your love at all.
