For the sake of your name, Lord, forgive my iniquity, though it is great.

Psalm 25:11

Dear God, any moment when I lose sight of my sin and need for you is a moment when I am most vulnerable. I go back to the Charlie Peacock song and the part of the chorus I love so much: “What’s going on inside of me? I despise my own behavior. This only serves to confirm my suspicion—that I’m still a man in need of a savior.”

It can be very easy to judge others and miss the little things that I do on a moment-to-moment basis that draw me away from you. But I know I allow all kinds of thoughts to distract me from you. I act impulsively. I judge instead of loving.

Father, forgive my iniquity, though it is great. I am truly sorry for all of the little and large things I do that ultimately come between us and steal the joy you have for me.

In Jesus’ name I pray,

Amen
