Dear Lord, thank you for being with me. I am looking for your heart. I want to love you, truly. Please continue to mold me, test me, teach me, love me, and guide me. I want to be your child and I want to listen to you completely. Please teach me to never lose faith in you. And never give up. Even when I want to, and even when things seem impossible, please be with me. There is a part of me that is still torn up and sad and lonely. But I know I’ll make it through if you stay close. So please do. Lord, I ask that you help me establish a good work ethic and not be lazy. Teach me to stay in it and never give up. But not even just not give up, please teach me to embrace life and enjoy it.
