Father, forgive me, I have sinned against You. That which I so greatly asked for in Your name, which I prayed for so much in tears, asking for Your intercession, You sent to me through Your angels—the very thing I had so earnestly asked for. I recognized that it was Yours, I knew it had come from You, and even so, I did not know how to treat Your divine inheritance with the value it deserved. I repent of having been so ungrateful and selfish; I repent of having despised divine grace. Forgive me, Lord. Forgive me—I am a wicked man. Only in Your presence do I have any chance of redemption. Never allow me to turn my eyes away from You. I need You, God. Intercede for me, Jesus!
