The Lord's Prayer (straight from my heart)

This is a prayer that comes from a teenager who is trying to live right...


Heavenly Father, I thank you for this day.
I thank you for waking me up this morning and starting me on my way.
I thank you for watching over me and my family through the night.
I thank you for the stars and the moon in the dark, and the beautiful sun in the light. 
I thank you or the peace of mind and serenity you give me.
I thank you for things great and small, I thank you for EVERYTHING. 
I ask you to let your will be done in all I go through today.
I'll step back and put it in your hands, here, have your way.
Please heal the sick and bless the poor, and the blind, give them sight.
So that they will know and SEE that you are the "WAY, TRUTH, and LIGHT." 
Please forgive me for all my sins, and own me again as your child.
Steer me back to you, even when I stray away for a while.
For I know I go against your word, and sleep in my bed of sin.
But now I'm surrendering my all to you, because true repentance comes from within.
And now when we've done all we could do, sang our last song, and prayed our last prayer.
I ask that you find me a place to sit around your throne, any place, anywhere.
In Jesus' mighty name I do pray.


Amen.
