presence, not presents

Father, thank You so much for Your love and light and abundance.

thank You for what You provide that i cannot even imagine asking for.

may i live my life in Your glory.  may my life be a prayer and a blessing to those who You bring into my presence.

i ask You, Father God, to please keep in the palm of Your hands my father, my brother, my son, my sister, and my mother.  please surround them with Your love and Your light so that they love fully.

please, Heavenly Father, ease the pain of loss of the family of those who You have called.  i am confused and so sad, which cannot compare to the grief those loved ones are facing and living.  please send Your angels to their aid, especially as they exist in inexplicable afflication and heartbreak.

Abba, my Father, my soul is Yours.

in Jesus' name.

amen.
