Dear God.....

Dear God,

I know we talk often, usually when I'm in need, or stressed, or hurting.  But now I come to Praise You God....with a few questions as well.

As I look back at my life, I see how You've Blessed me in so many ways.  You gave me a bit of good looks, some personality, some unique talents, and a life that took me from a simple, small town life, to where I am today. I know sometimes, I forget to really take that look and see just how much You have Blessed me.  Sometimes, I've taken it for granted.  Sometimes, I've been a bit prideful as well.  But it's the life You Gave Me and I Praise You for that..  I just ask for your help in showing me how I can give my life back to You, every moment, every day, in every situation that this life brings.

Now, maybe some questions......

Life is hard God, sometimes, really hard.  I see the struggles in my own life, and sometimes, just have to ask why.  But You remind me, You're with me, every moment, through every trial and struggle, and as I keep my eyes on You, I can find that strength, that hope, that peace to make it through.  And again I have to say, Thank You God.

I see so much anger, hatred, death and tragedy in the world and again ask why.  Why are so many killed in times of war? Why are so many killed with that stray bullet or that car going the wrong way. Why do so many wake up one morning, never expecting to loose their life through a deadly storm. Why to some choose to kill, without any remorse, in the name of their god. There are so many why's that seem left unanswered, so much pain, so much loss.

I understand, we may never know the answers to those questions while on this earth. But, I also see You reaching out, every moment, in every situation, in every death and tragedy.  Reaching out with Love, with Hope, with Peace That Passes All Understanding, with a Warm Hug of a Father to His Child. And even though the Pain is So Real, You are always there to give us the Strength to carry on. You say, You will never give us more than we can handle....and...sometimes, I've questioned that. Sometimes, the pain is just too much.  But I know that through that pain, You guide us, make us stronger, mold us, and remind us, that You are always there, no matter what. You remind us to rely on You, reach out with our faith to You, know that the answers will come and that Your Joy is our Strength.

You know I'm human God, and so many times, my doubts, my fears, my struggles, as well as my pride and my own self, get in the way of Your Will, Your Purpose, and Your Plan in my life.  I ask for Your Forgiveness and for Your Strength,  for Your Wisdom and Guidance. I ask that You continue to mold me into the Man You made me to be, the Man You can shine Your Light Through, the Man who can help make this world a better place.........

Thank You God.
I Give You The Praise In All Things

Your Loving Son,
