Lord God, only You know Eric's heart. We wish we could be young, excited and faithful and loving to You again... but we;ve made so many mistakes not letting You take control of the throne of our life. We lift up to you this person, and others in similar situation. Please grant us mercy and grace, to experience Your loving kindness again. Deal mercifully with us, even as we cry and groan in the midst of our unfaithfulness. To You alone have we sinned and seek forgiveness and grace. Please let other (esp young) people hold on to You faithfully, believe in Your words and promises, for that is all that matters, and love with all their heart. Apart from You we are nothing, so we ask fill us again with Your love, Your Spirit, and do not let us grieve You as we have done. Lord Jesus, hear our plea.
