Prayer To God

A Prayer to God

God, thank you.

I thank you, God, for always being with me, but

especially, I am grateful that you are with me

right now.

God, send your Holy Spirit upon me.

God, let the Holy Spirit enlighten my mind and

warm my heart that I may know where and

how we have been together this day.

God, let me look at my day.

God, where have a felt your presence, seen your face,

heard your word this day?

God , where have I ignored you, run from you,

perhaps even rejected you this day?

God, let me be grateful and ask forgiveness.

God, I thank you for the times this day we have been

together and worked together.

God, I am sorry for the ways I have offended you

by what I have done or what I did not do.

God, stay close.

God, I ask that you draw me ever closer to you this

day and tomorrow.

God, you are the God of my life – thank you.
