I've gotten so good at this one, the words come out similar every time. Doesn't make me mean it any less:
Heavenly Father, thank you for loving me, all of us, and wanting each to experience a full life, a life with you, and each other. Please comfort me in my despair and loneliness. You, who have all wisdom and understanding, You watch me as a fail to live up to your ideals, and you forgive me. Please continue to forgive me. Help me to be willing to accept my own responsibility in this broken relationship, help me seek and want forgiveness and to extend forgiveness to those who hurt me. Help me to never retaliate when I feel wronged. Help me to make the right choices, choices that exude love for others. Help me to realize and accept that forgiveness and renewal of relationships takes time, but renewal does come. I pray that it comes quickly. Please help us to work through our differences and be reunited. When the time is right, please put your words of love into my mouth, and help me to speak them. Please inspire the one I love to see and hear the truth in my heart. Open my eyes so that I may understand what is required of me to restore the intimacy we once shared, only more complete, with you at the center. Help me to demonstrate patience, kindness and love in all my actions. And if this is not your will, please help me to see the path that is. I ask this in the Lord's Name. Amen.
