"Dear Heavenly Father, I recognize that I have had a poor image of who you are. I can say that I know you love me, but I have had a hard time believing it for me, and feeling it in my heart. I always thought that what I did caused you to bless me or not bless me, love me or not love me. I had an ungodly belief toward you, and I'm asking you to set me straight. As I see Jesus' life, he showed me who you were. Jesus isn't to run interference between us, he's to be the "way" to you. He represented you in His life, and I want that to be my image of you. You aren't an angry God ready to judge me and condemn me. Jesus covers all my sins, I'm not to pay for anything. You love me, always and at all times. Your blessings are ever before me. Help me to see you clearly Lord. I demand every lie to leave my mind and thoughts that are not right toward you Lord. Teach me who you are, help me to discover you the way you intend me to see you. Forgive me for fearing you in a wrong way, but let me come to you no matter what at all times without fear of rejection or retaliation, because that is not you. I cast out every evil thought that is not true about who you are. Help me to learn more of you by learning more of Jesus. I thank you for this truth. Help me to abide in you every single day, and find you as my "safe place", being covered and hidden under the shadow of your wings. I ask you to forgive me for blaming you for what not giving me what I think I needed to be OK. But you have been giving, I haven't been receiving. Help me to learn how to receive from you Father, so that I have it to give away. Help me to be the person you intended me to be from the foundation of the world. Help me to accept all your love for me, loving me just as I am, not as I should be, so that I can love my family the same. Heal my broken heart Lord, and heal all those hearts around me whom I've hurt. Restore my heart and restore theirs as well. I thank you for your love toward me, and I receive it now, as it's all I need. In Jesus name, Amen."

Father God, I Praise YOU and give YOU thanks for speaking to Shalom in a clear way, that Shalom wants to know you better and better, and wants to have a deeper walk with YOU. Thank you LORD JESUS that you love us just as we are. I pray that you restore to Shalom the JOY of YOUR salvation.
Thank you for lifting the burden at calvary, thank YOU LORD for taking my guilt and shame upon YOURSELF. amen and amen

Shalom ... I sing this song to you.

I will never be the same again,
I can never return, I've closed the door;
I will walk the path, I will run the race
And I will never be the same again.

Fall like fire, soak like rain,
Flow like mightly waters, again and again;
Sweep away the darkness, burn away the chaff,
And let a flame burn to glorify YOUR name.

There are higher highs, there are deeper seas,
Whatever YOU need to do, LORD, do in me;
The glory of God fills my life
And I will never be the same again.

Amen!
