Dear God,

I love you so much. These are words I say just about every single day, yet, never to You. I’m sorry for all the sin that I’ve done. I know I’m not perfect, but I also know that I never try to be anything like You. It saddens me how I’m like this because I know that I won’t get anywhere in life without You by my side. I’ve never lost faith, though. Never ever. I know You’re always going to be here for me, and I know that I can count on you for literally, anything & EVERYTHING. I wish I could just sit down and pray everyday. Which I can, but it seems to me like I just don’t ever make time to anymore. I need to start doing that again. Lord, please forgive me. Forgive me for all the bad things I’ve done lately, and please make me whole again. Ever since I started going to church again, I feel so much closer to You. But I know something else is missing. I don’t just wanna be close to You. I want to be church active again, attend youth group, perhaps. I want to start making a difference in other people’s lives, and please You for what I do each day. I want to start telling people about my Savior, and I want You, and only You to be my number one priority again. You have showered me with the greatest blessings, some of which I know I don’t even deserve, Lord. But I just want to say thank You for everything. I’ve been lacking on my duties as a Christian, and I need to start fulfilling them. Also, I pray for my family. My family is weak and hurting at the moment, and I just pray for your guidance and that you put Your hands upon us. Heal us, Father. Whatever problems we’re all facing, I just ask that You help us bring peace back into our house, and give us the courage & strength to forgive even the most unforgivable deeds. I pray that You give us a wake up call, because lately, I feel as if I’m so forgotten by everyone. I feel so distant from my family, it drives me crazy sometimes. I feel like all they’re doing is trying to go after me and point fingers at me. Lord, please help them realize what they’ve been doing to me. I’ve been trying my absolute best w/ school, making my own money so I don’t always have to ask my mom anymore, and trying to keep up with my relationship w/ my boyfriend all at the same time. Nothing seems to ever be good enough anymore, especially for my mom. She expects perfection out of me, and I just pray that You knock some sense into her. Also Lord, I pray for Julius & me. Whatever daily struggles we must face, I pray that you strengthen our relationship and be with us always. Write our love story, Father. Take charge, and take us to any destination. But please Lord, don’t take him away from me. I love him with all my heart, and I know You know that more than anybody else. Thank you for everything You’ve done for me. For dying on the cross for not only mine, but everyone’s sins. Thank you for blessing me with the such amazing blessings, and for bringing happiness in my life. Thank you for all Your miracles that You have shown me, and I will continue to be Your Christian soldier in this world. Work through me, Lord. Put the right words in my mouth, and give me strength and courage. Guide me and point me in the right direction, and please take full control in my life. I need you more than ever, Father. I love you, & thank you.

In Jesus’ Precious name I pray, amen.
