my god,

Thank you for faithfully guiding me through my unique life path. I am asking for your help to walk with confidence in the way you have expressed. Increase my awareness of your presence, so that I may seek joy in you rather than places that bring only temporary satisfaction. Strengthen my faith, especially in times when I don’t understand the path in front of me. Thank you for introducing me to the way of life and the fullness of happiness that can only be found in your presence.

Amen.
