Prayer: I have rejected your word when it did not suit my agenda

Lord, you are mighty and merciful. I must confess, though, that I have rejected your revealed word when it did not suit my agenda. I have settled for fitting you in my life, rather than have my life conform to you. In my pride, I have failed to repent of my sins or even acknowledge their existence. I ask your forgiveness. Give me eyes to see your Son as he is, ears to hear his truth, a heart captive to his will, and hands that draw others into the presence of the Son. I pray these things, through Christ our Lord. Amen.
