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.
