A Short Prayer

Dear god i come to you today 
praying that you will always provide 
praying that you will be my shield and strength 
praying along the way you will be my guide 

Temptation will come along the way 
but that's just the work of the devil 
lord i will forever serve you 
and i will never stoop to his level 

lord i put my trust and faith in you 
with you i can never fail 
you have carried me through the worst 
especially when my back was against the rail 

countless blessings you have bestowed upon me 
some of which i can never forget 
some didn't turn out so great 
but yet i am happy and have no regret 

lord you are great in many ways 
and lord i put no one before you 
you always help me with my problems 
when no one else seem to have a clue 

lord you make me feel loved 
lord i must say you are my best friend 
lord thanks for all the love and care 
i thank you so much, bye and amen!!!!!!!
