Prayer for Devine Correction

Dear God:

What I need from you today is mercy. I humbly ask for you to have mrecy on me!
Have mercy on me, not only for all of the unkind, unloving things I have done, but for all of the unkind, unloving things I have thought about doing.
Have mercy on me for all of the mean and nasty things I have said about myself and others.
Have mercy on me for being intolerant and impatient with myself and others.
Have mercy on me for being crtical and judgemental of myself and others.
Have mercy on me for allowing fear to caues me to act impulsively, causing pain to myself and others.
Have mercy on me for being motivated by greed, taking more that I need, then wasting it.
Have mercy on me for not telling myself and others the truth about what I feel and then being angry when I am asked to do things that I am unwilling, not ready or too tired to do.
Have mercy on me for not asking for what I need and then being angry when I don't get it.
Have mercy on me for being ungrateful for all that I have recieved.
Have mercy on me when I am comparing myself to others and being angry at them for doing what I have not done, for receiving what I have not asked for.
Have mercy on me for being afraid of doing the wrong thing in the wrong way and then blaming other people for what I have not done.
Have mercy on me when I am being arguementative.
Have mercy on me when I am whining and complaining to others about myself, or to myself about others.
Today, God, I need your mercy!
I acknowledge that by myself I can do nothing! It is only through the power of your mercy and grace that my thoughts, words and actions will be changed.
For the change that is taking place within me right now, I am so grateful.
