Dear God

Thank you for taking the time to listen to me.

You know I'm only human.

You know I make mistakes,

But I do believe there's a spiritual side to my life.

As we begin this new Millennium,

I'd like to be more helpful than hurtful,

More grateful than grumbling.

I would like to build people up, not fear them down.

I would like to know you better

And to live my life more the way

You have in mind for me.

I may not be there yet,

So I'm asking you for help.

And by saying this prayer

I'm taking one step closer.
