My Prayer

Lord, thank you for loving me no matter what.  Thank you for standing by me when others are not willing.  Thank you, Lord, for picking me up when others knock me down.  Thank you for accepting me for who I am, warts and all.  Thank you for being able to see my heart and know who I really am when others are unable or unwilling to do so.  Thank you for carrying me when I don't have the strength to make it through one more day.  Thank you for whispering the truth in my ear when I start to believe the false things said about me and to me.  Thank you for being patient with me and for being willing to give me the time I need to work through things.  Thank you for always speaking the truth to me in love and with compassion.  Thank you for making Your presence known to me in a very real manner.  Thank you, Lord, for reminding me who I can trust and that I am not alone.   Thank you for providing true friends who will comfort me and give me a shoulder to cry on.  Thank you for protecting the baby from the stress I am under.  Thank you for the baby.  But most of all, thank you for dying on the cross for me.  I don't deserve it but you did it anyway.  That is pure and true love.  I want to love you like that in return.
