Prayer

God (or whoever is listening up above),

I know that I often times take the road less traveled, the beaten path, the hard way. I know that I have made a lot of mistakes in my life that you have gracefully accepted and forgiven me for. I know that you have given me second chances (often times thirds). I know that I am not as devout as I should be. I know I often times only turn to you in times of need. I am hoping that you can overlook these flaws and allow me this mistake to be forgiven and allow it to turn out okay. I know that you may have a bigger plan for my life and I know that lessons are to be taught for a particular reason, people and love is to be lost and regrets are to help us steer our lives back onto the right path. I am aware that I acted irresponsibly and I know that irresponsibility often times has a price to pay, but this? Isn't there a better way? Isn't this enough to scare me? I assure you that it is. If you allow things to turn out alright, and not allow this mistake to ruin a future that I can potentially see for myself, I will be forever indebted. I will be forever grateful. I will be an advocate of responsibility. I will no longer make foolish choices or act out of passion or lust. I will no longer envision my life only in the moment, but will relish in the fact that there is something more, that I deserve more, that I can have more. You have helped me in so many ways. You have allowed devastating events turn into learning experiences and you have always done great things for my life. Is it selfish of me to ask for one more favor? I am going to ask for it either way. Please?
