Dear Heavenly Father,
During this Lenten season I have come closer to You and come to know You more than ever before. You know my heart, Lord. In February of 2024, You allowed my heart to break. My heart breaking was so painful that the only way to get relief was to come close to You. Deep down I knew the steps in my life that I was taking at that time were wrong for me. But I just kept going and reverted to my old ways. I wanted to walk away from the burden of bearing my own cross. But You know my heart Lord. You know that I was caught up in the world, I was anxious and uncertain of the future. You know the trauma I faced growing up and how it affects me as an adult today. You see the good works I have done in my life. I realize now that Jesus has been walking beside me every step of the way carrying my burden. I trust in Jesus.
Lord, today I sensed that You are preparing me for something much greater. You want me to be prepared for when the time comes for me to naturally leave this earth. In my heart I am on my knees begging you to please guide me to take the right steps towards meeting with You in heaven one day. My heart yearns for this union with You when You say it is time. I never want to separate from You, Abba, Father. I love you with my whole heart, mind and soul. Thank you for the mercy you have bestowed upon me. In Jesus’s name.
