Heavenly Father,<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Just as Jacob returned to Bethel to seek Your presence and guidance, I come before You today with the same desire in my heart.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I acknowledge that I have strayed from Your path and have allowed the distractions of this world to draw me away from You.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I confess my sins and ask for Your forgiveness. Lord, like Jacob, I want to return to You with all my heart.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I want to rededicate my life to Your service and live according to Your will. I want to experience Your love, grace, and mercy in a new way.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

As I come before You, I ask that You show me the way back to You. Guide me in the steps I need to take to return to the path of righteousness.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Help me to overcome the temptations and distractions that have led me away from You.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Give me the strength to persevere in my faith, even when the road ahead seems difficult.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I pray that, like Jacob, I will have a renewed sense of Your presence in my life. I ask that You reveal Yourself to me in new and powerful ways.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Help me to see Your hand at work in my life, and give me the courage to follow wherever You lead.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Thank You, Lord, for Your unending love and faithfulness. I trust in Your promises and believe You will lead me back to You. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

In Jesus’ name, I pray. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Amen.<\/p>\n<\/div>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
