Seeking Grace and Mercy

Lord, I stand before your throne of Grace seeking forgiveness.
Humbly I ask your pardon for my inquities.
Again.
The thought was there, I knew it needed to be done.
But I allowed thoughts of others
and the deeds that I had committed myself to do for them
crowd out that which I had committed myself to do for you.
Lord, how many times can I seek your mercy and your grace?
This time my sin of,
what do I call it?
Forgetfulness?
Because it wasn't quite that.
But it has doubled.
The other times I missed one day, this time it is two days.
I come today Lord, not only seeking forgiveness,
but to set before you my petitions,
I am asking Lord,
for your help in focusing my mind on those things that you would have me do,
help me to discern request brought to me,
from what I think to what you know.
I ask this as all things in your Son Jesus name.
Amen.

Thank you, Lord.
