I will admit that I am crying as I am writing it out on here. This is also the first time I am saying it so it is a real prayer. I just thought it might be a good idea for it to be out there for other people to pray if they wanted to. I might expand on it more later tonight but in my own personal way and you can do that too but here is just the basics for now.
Dear Daddy,
After hearing and knowing what you have gone through for me, I can't think of one single reason why I would deserve something like that to be done for me. Well, I can think of one reason but to my human mind it isn't enough and doesn't make sense. That one reason is because you love me so MUCH! You loved me enough to die for me. You loved me enough to sit there meek and mild when you could have said something and stopped the whole thing. You could have told them to stop beating you with the whips. You didn't have to take those 40 hard hits. You had the power to stop everything but you didn't. I don't deserve all of that in my own eyes. I have sinned so many times and messed up a lot more. Just knowing that I caused all of that with my dumb mess ups makes me feel bad. Yet I don't do anything about it. Yet I can trust You for the simplest of things in my life or what may seem simple when you look at it from a point of being hit and spat upon. I never had it explained to me the way I did at church today and I felt so foolish after wards. Here I am worrying and complaining about things yet You never once complained or worried about what was going to happen during all that judgment. You were silent, meek, had wisdom when time, spoke when time, and mild. You didn't try to get out of it once because You loved me that much. To only think about all the times I have tried to get out of things too because they were too hard. This prayer can't even explain how I felt at church today or the sermon that was taught. I was silent then and tried to understand Your Love but I just couldn't. Why would someone be hurt that bad and made fun of that bad and then put upon a cross for people that dissed them at different times? That is the LOVE that you have for all Your People, The kind of Love that can never be explained. People, "your people", literally mocked and scorned you and you still loved them anyways. I would have said something to all those people but You didn't because you were the True Man. Your life and sufferings proved that. Every bad things was ours but yet You took the blame and died in our place. For that, I will forever and always Love You.
In Christ's Name,
Amen
Here is the verses that we looked at today during the sermon at church: John 19:1-16. It is where I got some of the ideas for the prayer.
"Today is a blank page. Yes, there are some things that need to be written in, and you could surrender your pen to them, letting events, exceptions, tests, and the judgements of others write this chapter. Or, you could take some time with God, that author and completer of your Faith and start writing today as the adventure He shows you it can be."-Rob Coscia "My heart is overflowing with a good theme as I recite my composition for the King. My tongue is the pen of a ready writer."- Psalm 45:1
