Father, hello...

I thank you for a great week, challenging as it was, I remained steadfast, remembering that you are in control of my life in your own mysterious way...

I am always amazed Father at your power...you the most powerful...

You are the richest...

You are the most influential...

You are the sustainer...

I find it sad that people out there forget this...billions before me over the course of time who simply had forgotten the ultimate head of the universe...

Or simply they did not care to think of you...

Well I'm not one of those Lord...you are the Greatest, and no religion can ever tell me what my heart says: love God first...all the rest will follow.

I declare that I love you first.

I know you are my coach, my trainer throughout my journey of life...

You put me through trials that gently make me stronger and wiser...

I know Father that you sometimes rebuke me as part of my training, as a coach does to an athlete in order to better himself...

And when I am weak and to my limit, I know you are merciful...because you know my love is genuine and heartfelt.

Sometimes I am impatient and I seek out help faster than you can provide...forgive my impatience Lord for I'm only human...and I sometimes follow my own agenda.

Truth is, I know you are delivering me with your love...

Even when I'm downtrodden from the circumstances that confront me and infected by my sorrows, I know that you feel my pain...

Regardless of whatever stands in front of me, my heart is open to receive communication from you, with an expectation that you will rescue me from whatever the situation...

You work behind the scenes to overwhelm my enemies, to put them to shame Father.

I also know that the Prince of Darkness is trying to break my trust in you Lord; but you know my heart now as you did in the past Father...you are spoon-feeding me divine knowledge in doses that I can understand (check The Defeat Of Satan).

My gratitude and appreciation Father...
