Lord, we are all like sheep who have gone astray, we walk in our own willful way, and we grieve your Holy Spirit day after day.

Lord, we acknowledge you this day, and we humble ask you to correct and control the willful spirits within us which causes us to walk away from your truth, and humbly bring us back into your fold Good Shepherd. Lord, we know that you are able to order our unruly minds, in your own time, you will direct and control us, we know of your awesome works in that you have been sought by those who did not ask for you, you have been found by those who did not seek you, you said, here I am, to a nation that was not called by your name, you have stretched out your hands all day long to a rebellious people, who walk in a way that is not good, according to their own thoughts, a people who provoke you continually to anger. Who else, could be so accepting of us; who else, could love us still, but our Heavenly Father? So, this day O Lord, favorably hear us, and let our cry come unto you, for we are still rebellious at heart, and we humbly ask you to correct, control, and order our unruly minds, and give us faithful, loving hearts to serve you all the days of our lives. All this we ask in your precious name. Amen!
