“I have sinned greatly by taking this census. Please forgive my guilt, Lord, for doing this foolish thing.”
I will not present burnt offerings to the Lord my God that have cost me nothing.”
“I am the one who called for the census! I am the one who has sinned and done wrong!
I will exalt you, Lord, for you rescued me.
You refused to let my enemies triumph over me.
Lord God,
I have taken my eyes off of you. Lord God, return me to your favor. Give me power over my sinful way and restore me to your grace and peace. My I not take my eyes off of you again. I can’t live separated from you, my life is crushed and uncomfortable without you. Make the lesson of today live with me forever and may I take my eyes off of the distractions of this world. You are the power and peace I seek when I stray and I am unable to feel satisfied with out you.
In Jesus name,
Amen
