A Prayer Of Praise For The Lord's Discipline

Most Precious Lord Jesus�
Gentle And Wonderful God�
Truly Awesome And Ever-present Holy Spirit�
I love you, Lord.
There were times when I wanted to sin but you placed your hand upon me and stopped me.
There were times when I wanted to walk a path other than your own but you stopped me.
There were times when I wanted to rebel and go my own way but you stopped me.
There were times when I fell down and I sinned, times when I walked a path other than your own, and times when I rebelled and went my own way.
However, when I did all these wrong things, these things not of your will, you convicted me.
When I did my will rather than your will you came and made me hurt.
When I did my will rather than your will you came and hurt my conscience and made me feel the pain of guilt.
When I did my will and I was in anguish because I let you down, you came to me, you wrapped your arms around me in love, and told me you forgave me.
Thank you, precious All in All.
Thank you, Precious Lord.
Thank you for your saving grace and for your saving discipline that surely keeps me in the palm of your nail-scarred hand.
All these things I humbly pray in the name of my most Blessed Lord Jesus Christ, my Mighty God, and my Ever-present Holy Spirit upon whom I can rely.
Amen
