Obedience

“For as by one man's disobedience many were made sinners, so by the obedience of one shall many be made righteous.”

-Romans 5:19-

Our Father, who art in Heaven:

We ask that you will forgive us for our sins.  Create in us a clean heart, O God, and renew a right spirit within us.  Lord, we have disobeyed you many times, and have gotten into trouble. We have willfully disobeyed, just as a child disobeys their parents.  We have failed to obey your rules and commands.  We often have obeyed the world’s rules and commands, and ignored your word and voice.  We know that when we fail to obey your voice, your rules, and commands, it causes us to have a rebellious and foolish spirit. And having a rebellious and foolish spirit is not of you.  As we disobey you, you discipline and correct us when we have failed to follow your guidance.  Being disobedient to you is not in your will. Today, we want to obey you, and submit to your will and authority.  By us obeying your word and your voice, we will not go astray.  By obeying and serving you, we shall spend our days in prosperity, and years in pleasure (Job 36:11).  As we obey you, we are your people, and we are blessed.  To obey is better than to sacrifice.  We want to be obedient to your will.  We want to be obedient to the Bible.  We are not perfect, at times we will disobey, but we will strive to be obedient to you.
