Here is a place of comfort for you to turn to for some peace of mind. I wrote these words from the threads of my life at a time of personal sorrow and loss. The way I held on was to begin writing these prayersongs as a way to reach God who had comforted me as a child. They became the book, The Little Book of Joy: An Interactive Journal for Thoughts, Prayers, and Wishes.
Below the prayersongs you also will find Sweet Blessings. The blessings are the hoped-for fulfillments of the prayers I sing. They will do you good, for there are never enough blessings to go around in life. Share them with those who are dear to you.
Dear God, I am so thankful To be alive. I thank You For giving me another Day of Life. Gracias. * * *
Lend me Your grace, Dear Lord, To weather this life more Bravely. Lend me Your courage, My God, to force away my Demons. Lend me Your strength, My Rock, to better walk with boldness. * * *
Help me, Lord, To keep the balance in my Life.By that, I mean please help me From slipping into despair And losing sight of the joys And accomplishments In my life. * * *
Dear God, How do you keep the tigers of doubt At bay? How do you keep the beasts Of fear from gnawing at your heart? How can one live a good life in this Hard, cruel world? How do you Become stronger? I'm not sure of The answers to these questions. All I know is to persist and carry on. * * *
Oh, God, Grant me the strength To live my life, Which I love so much, Better. Let me be more than I am Now. * * *
