Thank You Father




Thank you Father, for this life you have given me. It has been difficult and I have stumbled, but I have also gained and made it through many troubles. Thank you for carrying me, for walking with me, for seeing me through. Not all who wander are lost. While I thought I was lost, you were there all along.
Thank you for my beautiful family. I love them, each and every one of them, more than words can express. Keep them safe from harm, spiritual, physical, mental, financial, and every way it would be possible, keep harm far away. As we experience our hard and difficult times it is too easy for us to give up, keep them from giving up. Father, let them know you are there with them. Guide them to that sure footedness, give them confidence and security, fill them with faith and with hope. Shower them with love. Father, we have no control over this life and over the lives of our loved ones, we must depend on you to place your angels around and keep them safe. I hold them up to you now, fully, and ask for your mercy and grace. Forgive all our sins and erase our unrighteousness. With you, Father, all things are possible and all days are new beginnings. I ask all that I ask in the Holy Name of Jesus. Thank you Father.
