A 4am prayer

Thank you for my family. Put a hedge of protection around their lives. Keep them safe from evil influences as they grow. Bless my wife. Guide her ever closer to you. Give her peace and assurance. Thank you for sharing her with me. Thank you for my children. Bless them as they sleep. As they grow help them to grow ever closer to you. Give them hearts to fulfill your wishes. Protect them from evil and guide them into your realm. Help me God. Help me to be the father and husband you need me to be. Help me to guide my family through the times of trials and pain.

Place your protection around me and keep me away from evil. Strengthen my soul so that I have the ability to turn away the evil that wishes to influence me. Soften my heart so that I might be in tune with the needs of those around me. Guide me into the situation that you want me to live in. There is nothing in the world greater than you God. Help me to live my life by that truth. You are holy and glorious and beautiful and almighty and righteous and wonderful and amazing and powerful and true. I give my life wholly to you to do with it as you will. There is no greater desire in my heart than to follow you and to help others find you. Give me the strength to do what you want done. Give me the spirit to willingly and cheerfully work under those people I dislike. Give me the humility to do the things that I find most embarrassing. Give me the wisdom to avoid the sins I find most natural.

God, you are all there is. Thank you for making it that way and help me to live my life that way. I ask that at this very moment you give all of the Christians doing your business all around the world one instant of unexpected hope. It can be so gloomy down here. Thank you God. Thank you. Amen.
