We all have specific needs we must present to God in prayer. God wants us to ask. However, we must make sure we are asking for things in their proper order. Among the most important things we need to constantly beg God for is the amendment of our lives and true contrition for our sins. When we ask for the amendment of our lives and the grace to be truly contrite for our sins we must sincerely mean it. It is not enough to simply go through the motions and say the words. Unless we have a strong, sincere desire to change our lives, chances are God won't be answering the requests for the other things we are asking Him for.
If we do in fact find ourselves simply going through the motions we must beg God for the proper disposition. We must ask for the grace of contrition and conversion. This is a petition we should make to God every single day. Let us constantly ask God for contrition and the amendment of our lives.
Sincerely in Christ,
Rev. Jeffery A. Fasching
