today's prayer

Hey dad, I just wanted to take the time to say thank you. I think too often in this life I get so caught up in the details that I miss the big picture. You are good, and you want what's best for me. Thank you for the places you're taking me and the people you have brought into my life. I am being broken, molded, and shaped in the person you want me to be. I don't have to have all the answers. I don't have to be in control all the time. Help me to open my eyes to see the blessings you have placed right in front of me. Take my hand and lead me in the direction you would have me go. I'm sorry for making things harder than they should be. I'm sorry for the times I doubt your love for me. I'm sorry for the lack of brokenness and openness here lately. I think today I realized that happiness is something that I  can choose for myself every day, but true joy can only come from you.  I want you to be my joy and my strength. I love you, and I thank you. Amen.
