god forgive me for failing [over and over and over] to actively focus on and participate in the kingdom of heaven during worship. it's a crime to miss out on those opportunities on a daily basis - but even moreso when i have supposedly set aside time solely for worship. help me to master my mind and thoughts so that i am able to seek your face and dwell in your presence, at least during specific worship times.
god, continue to convict me about how cynical and judgemental i am. i am so quick to roll my eyes or have no grace for difficult people, not caring at all why they are acting/do act the way they do. how can i claim to "fulfill the mandates of my calling" [!] when i fail every time i am confronted with a difficult person? i can't, that's how.
forgive me for using people as a means to an end. forgive me for spending so much of my time encouraging others to trust you, then failing to do so myself. forgive me for balking at things that seem even the slightest bit difficult or even impossible.
continue to convict me. make me live my life in active participation in the kingdom of god.
how's that for confession, lindsey?
