“You can understand and relate to most people better if you look at them — no matter how old or impressive they may be — as if they are children. For most of us never really grow up or mature all that much — we simply grow taller. O, to be sure, we laugh less and play less and wear uncomfortable disguises like adults, but beneath the costume is the child we always are, whose needs are simple, whose daily life is still best described by fairy tales.”

I love You Lord, I still love You. Forgive me, I plead as I forgive everyone who sins against me. I don’t know how to face tomorrow please hold my hand. Please use me and don’t despise me. I call on your name Lord Jesus.

  29. Heavenly father,
    I thank you for this beautiful day, for the hardships i’ve gone through and have yet to go through and the lessons you have taught me from each and everyone that have strengthened my faith. I thank you for my friends and family who know me best, to correct and encourage me and my passions helping me through the trials of fire strengthening my faith. I thank you for you patience, your eternal grace and understanding. I pray for your help and guidance throughout today, that i might practice my beliefs to the best of my ability, and that you might make known unto me my faults so that i might better my self for tomorrow. I pray for peace of mind and soul, to be optimistic and filled with hope, to never lose faith in my fellow man, to practice love until I can learn to be love as your son Jesus was. I pray for forgiveness of my sins as i start this new day, for the confidence to practice my faith in this realm of distraction and temptation. I pray for all those who read this prayer that the words you speak through me can be a help and reminder to them that goodness is everywhere, even when not seen it is in the hearts of every individual no matter how misguided or confused. I pray for those who have passed, my family, that you can continue to work with them and help them to continue to progress and better themselves so they might join you in heaven, and someday I may see them and continue to grow in your strength and your righteousness. Take all fear from me i do pray, and replace it with faith that you leave none to despair and help me to forgive, as others have forgiven me. My lord, strength and redeemer. Amen
