A Prayer

Heavenly Father, I thank You so much For all You’ve given to someone like me; Undeserving of Your affection, still You sent Your only Son to set me free. I was deaf and blind to all Your goodness-- Ignored Your Word and chose another way. I thought You hindered me from happiness, But I was just lost like a dog astray. Through the many storms and uncertainties, I emerged triumphant and overcame; But without Your hand holding me aloft, I wouldn’t have victory to proclaim. I have nothing to boast about, dear God, For all that I possess have come from You-- My strength, my will, my heart, my intellect, And all that I know You already knew.
