From the desk of Fr. Tom,

Dear Lord,

I thank You for this day.  I thank you for my being able to see and to hear this morning.  I am blessed because You are a forgiving God and an understanding God.  You have done so much for me and You keep on blessing me.  Forgive me this day for everything I have done, said, or thought that was not pleasing to You. 

I ask now for Your forgiveness.  Pleases keep me safe from all danger and harm.  Help me to start this day with a new attitude and plenty of gratitude.  Let me make the best of each and every day to clear my mind so that I can hear from You,  Please broaden my mind that I can accept all things. 

Let me not whine and whimper over things I have no control over.  And give the best response when I am pushed beyond my limits.

I know that when I can't pray, You listen to my heart.  Continue to use me to do Your will.  Continue to bless me that I may be a blessing to others.  Keep me strong that I may help the weak, keep me uplifted that I may have words of encouragement for others.

I pray for those that are lost and cannot find their way.
I pray for those that are misjudged and misunderstood.
I pray for those who do not know You intimately.
I pray for those that do not share this with others.
I pray for those who do not believe.  But I thank You that I believe that God changes people and God changes things.
I pray for all my sisters and brothers.
I pray for each and every family member in their house.
I pray for peace, love, and joy in their homes.
I pray that they are out of debt and all their need are met.
I pray that every eye that reads this knows there is no problem, circumstance, or situation greater than God.
Every battle is in Your hands for You to fight.
I pray that these words be received into the hearts of every eye that see it.

God bless you,

Fr. Tom
