My Prayer

Thank you, God, for all you have given.
Thank you, God, for never leaving me.
Thank you, God, for being with me before I knew you, even before I was born.
Thank you, God, for everyone you put into my life.

Please, forgive me, and forgive those who have trespassed.
Please, make right our ways, and bring peace and love to each other.
Please, help us bring peace, and love to all those before us.
Please, give us strength, and courage to exalt you Lord unto the world.

Your Word, is creation, the way, the truth and the life.
Your Word, brings comfort and joy to all ears that listen.
Your Word, restores us, and heals us.
Your Word, lives on forever, and is supreme.

We ask that you guide our ways, control our tongue, and master our heart.
And, we ask to remain your servant here in the world as long as you desire,
until that glorious homecoming You promised, when we can be together.

In the name of Jesus Christ, 
Amen.

In Jesus name, amen! Ever notice how often people don't say this. Their prayers don't even reach the ceiling. "No one come to the Father except thru me", Christ said. Shame most this don't know.

Thank you, glory be to God. This is a good time to encourage each other, and have open conversations. We are family Barbara, brothers and sisters in Christ. So nice to meet you. I am so happy, and thankful I can write this, and we can still share this. 2 Timothy, 1:6-14.
