I want to change, I want God to forgive me

Dear God,

First, I want to open my heart and be honest with You.

Last year, I got pregnant, but the father wasn’t my boyfriend, and I made the painful decision to have an abortion. That choice has weighed heavily on me.

Since then, I’ve been drinking until I lose control, using cocaine, and making choices I’m not proud of.

God, I don’t want to live this way anymore. I want to stop drinking, I want to change, and I want to become better. Please forgive me for my mistakes and give me another chance.

I know I’m not a bad person. I’m lost and struggling, but I want to find my way back to You.

Please, God, shine Your light into the darkness of my life. Help me heal, grow, and become the person You created me to be.

With all my heart,
Patty

It doesn’t shout.It doesn’t rage.But it lingers In the moments I wish I could take back,In the words I wish I had said differently,In the faces I remember…
