“My Prayer”

by Valerie D. Staton

Most Holy and Righteous God, Alpha and Omega; Beginning and End; The Great I AM…

I come to you lowly, meek, and mild. To extend thanks and praise to You. Thank You Father for every breath inhaled and exhaled. Thank You for the good days as well as the bad. Thank You for my “Job” experiences. They have brought me closer to You. Thank You for all You have done Father, and for all You are about to do. Continue to guide my feet dear Lord. Guide me closer and closer to You. So when I breathe for the very last time, and the lights in my eyes no longer shine, I’ll profoundly hear You call out my name. Call out my name and proudly proclaim, “Good and faithful servant, well done!”

In the marvelous name of Jesus I pray. Amen.
