It's in HIS ands but my heart needs prayer....

Beloved FATHER,

I know I have been one of your more wilfull children and have not listened to you on more than one occasion. I just have nowhere else to turn and I need you, not just right now but all the time. You made me both practical and fiercely independant but I can't do this without you anymore. I apologize for ever thinking I could handle things on my own in the first place. I know it hurts you when your children suffer because they just won't come to you. I am giving this to you, Father as you have always told us to do.

I have so much that I need to thank you for Father. Though a lot of the time it didn't seem like it but you have blessed me so much! I thank you for all you've already done for us and all the trials we have already made it through. I thank you for healing some of my relationships and for working your hand in others so that they have become stronger.

I am making a request of both you my Father and my lord and savior, JESUS CHRIST, because I need you more than I ever thought possible. I am not praying for a specific miracle, I am asking you to do your will. Please Father, bless me with the grace to accept what you have in store for me. Bless my friends and family with the strength to accept your will, join together, and support each other. I ask for you to touch each and every one of them so that they can come out on the other side better no matter what you have in store for us.

I am so humbled by your love for me, FATHER. By the way you have guided and used me even in my imperfection. I thank you for being who you are and making me who I am. May my image more match yours.


Amen.
