Dear God, My Lord…

You've been with me though I was ungrateful; You stood by me in times of trials, need; You blessed me all along in life so far; You love me dearly though I often stray! You guide me in myriad ways in my life; You protect me against my unseen foes; You talk to me to do all things aright; You punish me to help me stay righteous. You care for me more than my parents do; You watch my deeds, reveling in my feats; You inspire me to do great things through faith; You encourage me do things heavenly! You lead me through life's dire straits so well; You direct my destiny in your ways; You save me from hazardous situations; You drive the devils out of my life's way. You love me more than I ever deserve; You plan my future meticulously; You want me reach the dizzy heights you plan; You desire that I come back most pure! O Lord, Most High, you know my weaknesses; O God of love, you want me not to sin; O loving Father, make me walk Thine ways! My creator, help me live just for Thee!
