Prayer

Dear self:

Always remember to pray,

"Dear God, thank You."


When I am happy as a bright blooming flower,

I will try to remember

To pray

To God.


The good things I will think about

Will cause me to shout,

"Thank You

For all You have given me!"

And I will pray

For those who have less.


" Dear God,

Thank You for my family.

Thank You for my home.

Thank You for my faith.


Please comfort those who have no family.

Please comfort those who have no home.

Please show Yourself to those who have no faith."


When I am sad

It won't be so bad,

For when I'm gloomy as a rainy day,

I will pray

To God.


The future won't be dim

Because I will lean on Him.

I will explain to Him my troubles,

And He will always listen.


"Dear God,

Today my anxiety got out of control again.

Today I argued with my siblings.

Today was a bad day."


I will try to be thankful in

All that happens and once I begin,\

It will be quite easy.

This is why:


Everyone since Adam and Eve

Is a sinner.

I am a sinner,

But I am forgiven

Because Christ, 

The perfect Savior,

Died for my sins.


Now all I must do

Is trust in Him to

Be saved;

To live forever

In a perfect paradise, 

Heaven.


I have so much wonderful stuff,

But it's not enough

Without this faith

In God.


He loves me so praises I sing

For He is always listening.

He will always be with me,

Forever.


So why shouldn't I pray?

Happy or sad,

Angry and mad,

Good or bad,

We should always pray.
