Heavenly Father,
Lord of love and peace, maker of all things both seen and unseen. I come to You with a humble heart, broken but not yet beat. For You alone have kept Your hand upon me Lord, cradled me in safety, surrounded me with Your mighty angels. As a mighty hedge they have surrounded me Lord, keeping me safe from all that might desire my fall. You Lord have lifted me up, high above the raging seas, so high now that I can see the full extent of Your greatness. With unconditional love You have guided me Lord, and though at times I have strayed You are always there. Your gentle wings of protection surround me, always full of love and forgiveness. Those precious things that at times I may not deserve, but yet You are always so willing to give. I embrace Your light Father, I cling to Your strength, and ask that You heal me Lord. Cleanse my heart and heal my wounds. Give me the sweet peacefulness within my heart that can come from only You. Set my mind at ease and give me the tranquility of peaceful still waters on a windless day. I do ask Father however, that You might leave my scars so that I may always remember those dark places from which I have traveled Lord yet returned from unscathed... by Your grace alone. In Jesus' name I pray.
Amen

I wrote this prayer many years ago during a very difficult time in my life. I came upon it today and remembered how much these words meant to me at the time and how this simple request can apply to my life each and every day. I think it's important to take the time to write your own prayers. To make them both personal and intimate. An expression of your own heart and your own earnest desires. Keep them and look back at them from time to time. Over time you will see ways in which you have grown and some core values of your spirit that remain the same. Just let them be an honest expression of your heart... like a child's request to their father.
