Dear God,

Thank you for your unconditional love. You are there anytime from day to night. You are my 24/7 counselor. You take my fear and anxiety away when the time comes. The love you have for me is never-ending. I can say anything, and it will be forgiven. When I get worried you calm me down and lead me on the right path. You listen when my heart aches with sadness. There is nothing you can't do because you turn the darkness into light. You do amazing things for us when we don't ask for it. You put meaning into our lives and you teach us by example. I would have never have known the true meaning of the expression when one door closes another one opens. We can learn so much from your teachings. When we feel lost or distant in our path of life, you are always there to show us the way. Your words open our hearts to extraordinary things. You show us compassion and forgiveness when we stray down the wrong path. A purpose comes from you because you put us on this earth with a purpose. God, you give us a fresh start every day we wake up. Our past is our past--we can't let it define us. The key is the future. You take away the evil in our hearts and in our lives and you replace it with peace. You take our suffering and you calm it with your presence. We take being thankful for granted. We should be thankful for the many blessings we have in our life everyday, not just once a year on Thanksgiving.

Your love is never-ending, and we need it more than ever.

I feel like saying thank you isn't enough.

Sincerely,

A girl who prays a lot

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

These powerful lyrics remind us how much good is inside each of us and that sometimes we are too blinded by our imperfections to see the other side of the coin, to see all of that good.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

The song was sent to me late in the middle of the night. I was still awake enough to plug in my headphones and listen to it immediately. I always did this when my best friend sent me songs, never wasting a moment. She had sent a message with this one too, telling me it reminded her so much of both of us and what we have each been through in the past couple of months.

Why Your Astrological Sign May Not Match Your Personality

We are all more than just one sign.

What's your sign? It's one of the first questions some of us are asked when approached by someone in a bar, at a party or even when having lunch with some of our friends. Astrology, for centuries, has been one of the largest phenomenons out there. There's a reason why many magazines and newspapers have a horoscope page, and there's also a reason why almost every bookstore or library has a section dedicated completely to astrology. Many of us could just be curious about why some of us act differently than others and whom we will get along with best, and others may just want to see if their sign does, in fact, match their personality.

The Importance Of Being A Good Person

An open letter to the good-hearted people.

Being a good person does not depend on your religion or status in life, your race or skin color, political views or culture. It depends on how good you treat others.

We are all born to do something great. Whether that be to grow up and become a doctor and save the lives of thousands of people, run a marathon, win the Noble Peace Prize, or be the greatest mother or father for your own future children one day. Regardless, we are all born with a purpose. But in between birth and death lies a path that life paves for us; a path that we must fill with something that gives our lives meaning.
