Last night I prayed...

Last night I prayed...

I spoke with my mother earlier in the day after I got off my flight back from NC. She told me about some recent deaths of people from my hometown and she closed saying..."It's just too much death going on these days." That one phrase struck me. She was right and I knew I needed to pray. So last night that's what I did.

Last night I prayed for God to look after my family. I prayed for him to protect them and keep them healthy. I prayed that we not have to face any deaths in my family. I don't want to deal with the pain and sorrow. I know I am being selfish because that's apart of life.

Last night I prayed for God to watch over my close friends. None of my close friends live in the same city as me and I at times think about them and pray that God is answering all there prayers. Many times I speak during the week with most of my friends and we catch up on life and stuff. We complain about our everyday struggles of being a young adult in America. We all feel like our problems are the biggest in the world, but I thought do we ever take our problems to you?

Last night I prayed to find the answer to what I am looking for. I'm not quite sure what the question is but I know you have all the answers. I usually am seen as the man with all the answers. Many come to me for advice, but sometimes I am the one who needs the advice.

Last night I prayed and thanked God for blessing me. I never dreamed I would end up where I am but it's a journey I have enjoyed. I have had many highs and some lows but you have made me strong. I have been able to handle the many trials and tribulations that you have placed upon me. I know I don't say this often but I do appreciate what you have done for me. Thank you for it all.
