Dear God

Recently, I’ve been truly scared.  Ever since I’ve graduated high school, I’ve felt put down by my father, stressed out, and just weak.  Most of my friends know where they want to go and what they want to do in their lives but for me, choosing the right path when it comes to careers and going to college just became something I am scared of embracing.  I fear failure. It seems so silly when I type this but deep down, sometimes I feel like I’d rather die than disappoint myself and my family.  Somewhere inside me I feel like I can achieve more than what I think I am capable of but waking up to a nightmare like this morning gets me thinking otherwise.

Lord, I pray that you lift up my spirits. I won’t ask for strength, because I know I have it in me. I pray that you remind me of my capabilities and that you continue to guide me, and walk with me in this journey… this new chapter in my life. I’d like to lift up my friends who do know what they want to achieve in their lives.. and that you send down your angel to pray for them when they feel the way I do now.

Thank you for being the only one I know who would never get tired of listening to me.  Thank your for being the shining hope in my life that I can follow when things get dimmer.
