Dear Lord, You have been such a wonderful friend and, as my Lord, have placed such beauty in my life. It's true that I miss, even long for the companionship you brought to my side, but you just keep filling my life with new joy. Help me today to enumerate the joys you have given to me; the new friends I have been privileged to meet and to see.
Lord, among those friends are those who have been a blessing to me and I thank you for those blessings. Among those friends are some who desperately need to come to know you personally and let you take the wheel in their lives. Please draw them to your side.
Although I have never seen them, there are many in uniform, both abroad and along our borders, to whom I feel a kinship and brotherhood, that are in harms way. I ask that you give them safe conduct, either back to their homes or to a home at your feet.
Help me to make proper use of the days you have allotted to me. I know I often fail and transgress your laws: go against your guidance. Please forgive me, Lord.
This is my prayer in the name of Jesus Christ. Amen
Great thought for this Sunday morning. I too will try harder to enjoy and celebrate the things that the good Lord has brought to me and not to dwell on the things he has seen fit to take away. It is His will and I will try only to be ever grateful and humble. Thank You Arlie for reminding me. <3
