Dear Lord,
Without You, I am nothing.
Without Your presence, I lose my way. Without Your voice, I wander in confusion.
I’ve tried to carry burdens on my own, to fill the emptiness with things that fade.
But none of it satisfies. None of it heals. None of it brings peace like You do.
I confess that I’ve drifted.
There have been moments—days, even seasons—where I lived as though I didn’t need You.
I placed my trust in people, in distractions, in my own strength.
And every time, it left me more empty than before.
But through it all… I love You.
Even in my failure, even in my weakness, even in the silence—I’ve always loved You.
I just didn’t know how to come back.
So here I am, Lord—no pride, no pretense. Just me. Just truth.
Without You, I am lost. But with You, I can breathe again.
I can hope again. I can love again.
Please forgive me for trying to live without You.
Draw me close. Let me walk with You again, hand in hand, heart in heart.
Because I never stopped loving You, and I never will.
I need You. I want You. I love You. Always.
Amen.
