the house of prayer and the fervent prayer of
a righteous prayer 20 god correct me without
letting me run from you a prayer for humility
correction and restoration this prayer is for
you if god has been confronting something in
your life Maybe through his word. Maybe through
conviction. Maybe through circumstances. Maybe
through someone who told you something you did
not want to hear. Maybe you recognize that an
attitude needs to change. A boundary needs to
return. An apology needs to be made. A habit
needs to stop. Pride needs to come down. Or maybe
you are walking through consequences from decisions
you wish you could change. And somewhere inside,
you have started wondering, God, are you angry
with me? Have you rejected me? Did I lose my
purpose? Is everything over? If that is where
you are today, this prayer is for you. Hebrews
12 .6 says, the Lord disciplines the one he loves.
And Romans 8 .1 declares, there is therefore
now. no condemnation to them which are in Christ
Jesus. So today, we are not praying from condemnation.
We are praying from relationship. Let us pray.
Lord, search my heart. And if there is something
in me that needs correction, correct me. If my
attitude needs correction, correct me. If my
words need correction, correct me. If my decisions
need correction, correct me. If my relationships
need correction, correct me. If my priorities
need correction, correct me. If my ambition needs
correction, correct me. If my pride needs correction,
correct me. If the way I handle authority needs
correction, correct me. If the way I respond
when I am angry, disappointed, hurt, or misunderstood
needs correction, correct me. But God... When
you correct me, don't let me run from you. Don't
let shame convince me that you no longer love
me. Don't let embarrassment make me hide. Don't
let pride make me defend what your spirit is
trying to change. Don't let disappointment make
me interpret your correction as abandonment.
And don't let condemnation speak louder than
your grace. Teach me to recognize the difference
between your conviction and the voice of condemnation
condemnation tells me you failed therefore you
are finished but your correction tells me this
must change because i am not finished with you
so god give me a teachable heart give me the
humility to say i was wrong give me the humility
to apologize give me the humility to receive
accountability Give me the humility to listen
before defending myself. Give me the humility
to ask, God, is there something here you want
me to hear? If you send someone to correct me,
give me discernment. Human beings can misunderstand.
People can accuse falsely. People can speak from
wrong motives. So give me wisdom to test what
I hear. But don't let somebody's imperfect delivery
make me reject the truth you are trying to show
me. If there is truth in the correction, help
me receive it. God, protect me from becoming
so successful that nobody can tell me the truth.
Protect me from becoming so powerful that people
become afraid to correct me. Protect me from
becoming so spiritual that I believe I cannot
be wrong. Protect me from becoming so defensive
that every correction feels like an attack. Protect
me from surrounding myself only with people who
agree with me. Give me people who love me enough
to tell me the truth and give me the maturity
to listen. God, if I'm walking through consequences
from my own decisions, give me grace. If I need
to repair something, show me how. If I need to
rebuild trust, give me patience. If I need to
accept responsibility, give me courage. If I
need to make restitution, give me integrity.
If I need to apologize, break my pride. If I
need to change, give me discipline. And if there
are consequences I cannot immediately escape,
teach me through them. Don't let me waste the
correction. Don't let me spend the entire season
asking you only to remove the consequence while
refusing to learn what you are trying to teach
me. Like David, let my prayer become. Create
in me a clean heart, O God, and renew a right
spirit within me. God, I don't only want the
situation changed, I want to be changed. Change
whatever in me contributed to the problem. Change
the anger. Change the pride. Change the selfishness.
Change the impatience. Change the dishonesty.
Change the uncontrolled desires. Change the insecurity.
Change the need for approval. Change the bitterness.
Change the way I react. Change the way I speak.
Change whatever cannot follow me into the person
you are calling me to become. And God, if this
season is not your correction, protect me from
falsely condemning myself. Not every hardship
is punishment. Not every closed door means I
failed. Not every painful season means you are
angry with me. Give me discernment. If you are
correcting me, help me receive it. If you are
redirecting me, help me follow. If you are telling
me to wait, help me wait. If I am simply walking
through a difficult season, Give me faith to
endure without accusing myself. I want to hear
you clearly. God, when correction hurts, remind
me that discomfort does not automatically mean
rejection. When obedience costs me something,
give me strength. When I have to walk away from
something I became attached to, help me surrender.
When you put your finger on something I have
been defending, help me release it. When you
say, this cannot continue, give me the courage
to agree with you. Because I don't want you merely
to bless everything I choose. I want you to correct
anything that could destroy what you are preparing
for me. Protect my marriage. Protect my family.
Protect my relationships. Protect my ministry.
Protect my career. Protect my calling. Protect
my testimony, protect my future. And if protecting
those things requires correcting something within
me, God, correct me now. Correct me before pride
becomes destruction. Correct me before anger
destroys relationships. Correct me before ambition
corrupts my character. Correct me before temptation
becomes bondage. Correct me before success produces
arrogance. Correct me before a small compromise
becomes a larger collapse. I would rather experience
the discomfort of correction than the devastation
of destruction. God, teach me to ask a different
question. Not only, why am I going through this?
But, God, what are you trying to preserve? If
you are preserving my character, thank you. If
you are preserving my family, thank you. If you
are preserving my calling, thank you. If you
are preserving my future, thank you. If you are
protecting me from something I cannot yet see,
thank you. I may not understand the interruption
today. I may not understand the closed door today.
I may not understand why you told me no. I may
not understand why something had to change. But
give me faith to believe that sometimes your
no can contain protection. Sometimes your interruption
can contain mercy. Sometimes your correction
can contain preparation. And sometimes correction
is rescue. Lord, I surrender my pride. I surrender
my excuses. I surrender my defensiveness. I surrender
my need to always be right. I surrender my reputation.
I surrender the image I try to protect. I surrender
my character to your refining work. Teach me,
correct me, discipline me, restore me, transform
me, and when you have corrected me, don't let
me remain trapped in the past. Don't let me continue
punishing myself for what you have forgiven.
Don't let yesterday's failure become today's
identity. Let correction produce wisdom. Let
correction produce humility. Let correction produce
discipline. Let correction produce self -control.
Let correction produce compassion. Let correction
produce maturity. Let correction produce righteousness.
Let correction produce peace. And let me walk
differently because you loved me enough to confront
me. Today, I declare Correction is not rejection.
Conviction is not condemnation. Discipline is
not abandonment. Consequences do not automatically
mean my purpose is cancelled. God is still working
on me. God is still refining me. God is still
teaching me. God is still transforming me. And
by His grace, I will not run from the refiner
while He is refining me. God. If you see something
in me that could destroy what you are preparing
to place in my hands, deal with it. If you see
something in me that could damage the people
I am called to serve, deal with it. If you see
something in me that could compromise my testimony,
deal with it. If you see something in me that
could become tomorrow's collapse, deal with it
today. Because I understand now Sometimes the
God who loves me will comfort me. Sometimes he
will carry me. Sometimes he will restore me.
And sometimes he will correct me. And when he
does, I will remember. Correction is not always
rejection. Sometimes correction is rescue. God,
correct me without letting me run from you. Keep
me close while you change me. Keep me humble
while you teach me. Keep me surrendered while
you refine me and make me into the person who
can faithfully carry what you are preparing for
my future I am still being refined for a purpose
in the name of Jesus Christ Amen If God is correcting
something in your life today don't immediately
run from the discomfort Ask him God. What are
you trying to teach me? What are you trying to
preserve? Receive his conviction. Receive his
grace. Make the correction. And keep walking.
The refiner is not finished with you. Always
remember, you are not alone. Pomoja Ministry
is your prayer partner.
