Prayer: I have a conflicted heart and will

Lord, you are holy. I have a conflicted heart today. My intentions are often good. Yet, I still find a way to fail to do what is right. I usually want to do what you command, but I also find it tempting to figure out a way around it. Even if I do feel some guilt, I want to justify my actions rather than take the difficult steps toward making amends. I ask your divine forgiveness for the harm I have caused when I have followed my will and strayed from your teaching. Strengthen me today so that my heart and will unite in the desire to do what is right. Amen.
