What if?

Lord you make the burdens more bearable

Dear God, I may not like the things that have changed; I wish my life had not altered. But it has. Remind me that because you love me and are in control of my life, this phase of my life can be good as or even better than the way life was before.
Amen.

God you’re my everything.

Wise, loving God, you have so many different ways to draw us to yourself. But no matter what method you use, you’re always like a caring father, extending your loving arms toward all of us—including me. Sometimes you have to warn or threaten. No matter how you speak to me, please help me hear you and respond to your love. Amen.

God Speak To Me

God of all hope, forgive me when I become discouraged or want to give up. Deliver me from self-pity and renew my hope. Enable me to see that I can not only make it through the troubles of today, but you give me hope and comfort to make it each day. Amen.

I can always count on you.

God, I have no idea why some things happen or how minor decisions determine my destiny. But I do know you’re involved in my life, even in those dark moments. Remind me of your love, which never leaves me. Amen.

Living a meaningful life with God…Life is good.

God, sometimes I think I’d like to do big, wonderful things for you. Help me to realize that big resullts aren’t what you ask. You ask me to faithfully use the abilites and the opportunities you’ve given me. If I use them, I know I’ll have a full and meaningful life. That is, I know I’ll be happy. Thank you, God.
Amen.

Nothing is too small to bring to God

Loving God, remind me, teach me, and help me to internalize this truth: You love me and nothing will ever diminish your love and compassion. Because you love me, you want to hear my every concern. You want me to cry out as you delight in answering. Remind me again—and again.

Amen.

God loves me and accepts me just as I am.

God, I’m alive. I can function and I can also choose how I face my situation. I can focus on being different, inferior, or not conforming. Or I can focus on the good things in life that I can celebrate. Help me to realize that no matter how different I may appear to others, I am still loved by you. Thank you.

Amen
