God Sees Us Looking Elsewhere

God, you see through us. You see the very depths of us. Every thought is laid bear before you. Every action is recorded in heaven. Every motive is not hidden from you.

But we come before you because there is the promise of forgiveness with you. Though you see all, you will blot out the transgressions of those who come to you in faith.

Indeed our sin is that we have taken our eyes off of you. We have been distracted by many things and by many affairs. And we have failed to remember your Almighty arm, your sweet provision, and everlasting love.

Thus we have wasted ourselves and our time with worries. We could have rested in you, but instead we have gone the way of the heathen.

Lord, we acknowledge our foolishness before you and we pray that you would acknowledge it no longer. Forgive us and make us clean.
