Dear god,
If you're up there, and if you're listening to me, down here, Here it goes.
I know i haven't prayed in a long time. I began questioning everything around me. IT somehow became cool to say that i didn't believe in you. But i do. I still do. I always have and i always will. I pray forgiveness for acting so ignorant.
God, give me patience... To deal with everything that comes my way. Give me the patience to wipe my friends tears when she gets hurt by a guy. Please remind me not to tell her "I told you so". I know she doesn't need that at that minute and that she needs my shoulder to lean upon and my fingers to wipe her tears. We'll laugh again god. She'll laugh again. Please help her realise that.
Help me remember how lucky i am god. I talk a lot. I rant a lot. I complain a lot. Help me remember that every teenager is not lucky enough to own a 30GB iPod, or a cute lil Nokia phone, or Levis jeans or Marie Claire shoes or a Fastrack watch or a Yamaha acoustic guitar or products from L'O'Real, maybelline, lakme, streetwear, etc. Or heck even a roof over their heads or even a family for that matter. Help me remember how lucky i am. Help me remember to be thankful for all that i have
Give me the ability to understand. Give me the ability to understand that my problems aren't the only problems in the world. There are things that people face greater than not getting a good grade in a test, getting into a fight with a friend, missing breakfast cause i was late, getting rumours spread about them, people face things greater. Help me remember that these are only small problems. Small enough for me to be able to deal with them.
God, please help me know. Know when I should hug somebody or when i should leave them alone and give them their space. Please help me know if i should cry with my friend or if i should tell her to stop crying. Help me know that my best friend who's a guy doesn't share all his feelings with me cause he doesn't wanna look like a wimp in front of me, but please, grant him the ability to know that i won't ever think of him as a wimp no matter what.
Please god, grant me more patience to know....that sometimes the problems of adults are over my head and they are best left alone unless they ask for me to interfere with them.
Give me strength to be able to overcome my own failures, to wipe my own tears, to be able to overcome my own weaknesses and make them my strengths. Most of all, give me the strength to be empathatic and give me strength to be patient...
Grant me the ability to love a person without judging him/her. Grant me the ability to be strong enough to find a solution every time i'm in trouble instead of turning to you only in my times of need. Let me remember and thank you also for every good time i have and every good memory that etches itself onto my mind.
Give me the courage to be myself, the patience to help others be themeselves and the courage to stand up for what i think is right....
Dear god.... I hope you heard all that
