Dear God
Thank you for taking the time to listen to me.
You know I'm only human.
You know I make mistakes,
But I do believe there's a spiritual side to my life.
As we begin this new Millennium,
I'd like to be more helpful than hurtful,
More grateful than grumbling.
I would like to build people up, not fear them down.
I would like to know you better
And to live my life more the way
You have in mind for me.
I may not be there yet,
So I'm asking you for help.
And by saying this prayer
I'm taking one step closer.
