Father,

Help us come to You like children. Help us trust You when the road seems too hard. Help us recognize Your presence when we feel alone or confused. Let us know our need of You and bring that to You. Like the lost sheep, remind us that You come seeking us. When You find us, don’t let our hearts grow hard or cold so that we forget what it is to follow You. Help us to forgive others with the forgiveness You show us. Help our hearts to be gripped by only You. You are faithful and we need You. Give us faith like children. You are the loving God who desires to show us love and to give us peace. Please take our eyes off money, approval from others, or anything else that could distract us from You. We love you, Father.

–Amen
