Thank You For Being In the Midst.

Lord looking back at my childhood

I see I sometimes tried to go my own ways

sometimes when I felt so alone

I ran up bills on the phone

when the house was empty

and i was in dispaire

I am sorry I failed to relise that you were there

the day my mother left home and went away

I saw my dad breakdown that day

he got well again and had great faith

he had a new life and a new friend

but thats not where the pain did end

when every one  went out I was left by myself

like an object just stuck on a shelf

theese times where no one was around

was the times I most rebelled I have found

but looking back I see I was safe

and although I did not know you then

I was still in your book  on your list

and i thank you lord

that you were always in the midst.

he was there for me  even though I did not relise it at the time, I felt lost alone, helpless and 
like no one wanted me I was only about 13 years old I knew about God and I always 
believed from a  young age I  went to sunday school but I  only knew of him it was not until i 
was older that I learned how you have a personal relastionship with Jesus and how we get 
saved. my prayer is that all children know they are all special they are all equally loved and 
God will always be by our side no matter what we do he never gives up on us, never will he 
leave us and never will he forsake us.  thank you Lord that you opened my Eyes to see you 
and you opeend my ears to hear you but most of all i thank you for opening my heart to let 
you in and to Love you Amen, I AM FREE FROM ALL MY PAST PAIN AND SUFFERING  so you 
can be too trust in God and trust in Jesus.I know God always listens and always answers us 
when we are talking to him we just have to learn to hear his voice. Amen.
