Quote:
Tell God all that is on your heart, as you would unload your heart,
its pleasures and its pains, to a dear friend.
Tell Him your troubles, so He can comfort you;
tell Him your joys, so He can sober them;
tell Him your longings, so He can purify them;
tell Him your dislikes, so He can help you conquer them;
talk to Him of your temptations, so He can shield you from them;
show Him the wounds of your heart, so He can heal them;
lay bare your indifference to good, your depraved tastes for evil, your instability.
Tell Him how self-love has made you unjust to others,
how vanity tempts you to be insincere,
how pride disguises you to yourself and others. ~ Francois Fenelon {adapted}
Psalm 30:2
O LORD my God, I cried to you for help,
and you have healed me.
Prayer:
O Lord,
I lay my heart bare to You. I place my cares at the foot of the
cross. I talk to You as my dearest friend. Amen.
