I know that I have sin

Dear Lord,

I come to You with honesty and humility. I know that over the past 13 years, I’ve made mistakes. I’ve sinned, I’ve acted out, and I’ve fallen short in many ways—but I’m asking for Your forgiveness. Please help me grow into someone better—someone kinder, more patient, and closer to You.

Lord, there’s something personal I want to ask You. I’m 13, and I’ve been feeling unsure and even a little worried about how my body is developing. I know You created me in Your image, but sometimes I feel confused or behind compared to others. I wonder when the changes I’ve been waiting for will come. I ask for reassurance, patience, and confidence as I grow.

Please guide me through this stage of life with wisdom. Help me trust that everything is unfolding in Your perfect timing—even when I don’t fully understand it. And help me remember that my value doesn’t come from how I look, but from who I am in Your eyes.

Thank You for listening to me, Lord. Thank You for loving me as I am.

Amen.
