Dear Lord

I think it is just my responsibility to share this beautiful prayer shared to me by a former officemate:


Dear Lord,

I thank you for this day. I thank you for my being able to see and to hear this morning. I’m blessed because you are a forgiving GOD and an understanding GOD. You have done so much for me and you keep on blessing me. Forgive me this day for everything I have done, said or thought that was not pleasing to you. I ask now for your forgiveness. Please keep me safe from all danger and harm. Help me to start this day with a new attitude and plenty of gratitude. Let me make the best of each and everyday to clear my mind so I can hear from you. Please broaden my mind so I can accept all things. Let me not whine and whimper over things I have no control over. And it’s the best response when I’m pushed beyond my limits. I know that when I can’t pray, you listen to my heart. Continue to use me to do your will. Continue to bless me that I maybe a blessing to others. Keep me strong that I may help the weak. Keep me uplifted that I may have words of encouragement for others. I pray for those who are lost and can’t find their way. I pray for those who are misjudged and misunderstood. I pray for those who don’t know you intimately. I pray for those who forget to pray and those who do not share you and your word with others. I pray for those who don’t believe. But I thank you that I believe. I believe GOD changes people and GOD changes things. I pray for all my sisters and brothers, for each and every family member in their household. I pray for peace, love and joy in their homes that they are out of debt and all their needs are met. I pray that everyone will know that there is no problem, circumstance, or situation greater than you, GOD. Every battle is in your hands for you to fight. I pray that these words be received into my heart. GOD, I love you and I need you, come into my heart, please. AMEN.
