James 1:5

If any of you lacks wisdom, you should ask God, who gives generously to all without finding fault, and it will be given to you. -James 1:5

Dear Heavenly Father,

I am so flawed and the knowledge of my failures is a constant unwanted companion. It affects my prayers too. I think, "If I were God I wouldn't listen to me. I'm such a failure. I don't deserve his help." It makes me not want to bother you with my prayers. But I do believe your word. It changes the way I think about you and myself. It makes me trust your grace. You could find fault but you don't. You love me that much. So, I need your help God. The problems this pandemic has caused are too complex for me. Give me wisdom on how to carry out my responsibilities to family, job, church and my community. Help me to adequately allay fears and meet needs. I will use your wisdom to bless others as best as I can. But I need your supernatural help to be wise enough to know how.

Guilt isolates people and drives them crazy. God's grace unlocks the cell and lets you out.
