A little prayer

When I woke up this morning, I had a pang of anger in my stomach. The same feeling I have had since I was fired. I decided this morning that I do not want to feel angry anymore, so I decided (again) to let go. I will let go of all my negative feelings and welcome positive ones. I will allow good things to happen. I will make good things happen to others.

I was thinking all those things and then I checked my e-mail. And I found this little prayer there. Thank you, my friend, for sending this to me. I usually don't forward these or talk about praying. But today it seems fitting:

"Dear Lord, I thank You for this day. I thank You for my being able to see and to hear this morning. I'm blessed because You are a forgiving God and an understanding God. You have done so much for me and You keep on blessing me. Forgive me this day for everything I have done, said or thought that was not pleasing to you......
I ask now for Your forgiveness. Please keep me safe from all danger and harm. Help me to start this day with a new attitude and plenty of gratitude. Let me make the best of each and every day to clear my mind so that I can hear from You. Please broaden my mind so that I can accept all things. Let me not whine and whimper over things I have no control over. And It's the best response when I'm pushed beyond my limits.
I know that when I can't pray, You listen to my heart. Continue to use me to do Your will. Continue to bless me so that I may be a blessing to others. Keep me strong that I may help the weak...
Keep me uplifted so that I may have words of encouragement for others. I pray for those that are lost and can't find their way. I pray for those that are misjudged and misunderstood. I pray for those who don't know You intimately. I pray for those that don't believe. But I thank you that I believe. I believe that God changes people and God changes things. I pray for all my sisters and brothers. For each and every family member in their households. I pray for peace, love and joy in their homes, that they are out of debt and all their needs are met. I pray that every eye that reads this knows there is no problem, circumstance, or situation greater than God. Every battle is in Your hands for You to fight. I pray that these words be received into the hearts of every eye that sees it."

And you, who start a journey today, I pray for you as well.
