Straight from the heart, my prayer for today in the form of a letter to God.

Dear God,
Today I am sad.
So many people that I care about
Are struggling and hurting
Some are in poor health
Others in troubled relationships
Still others are bereaved; grieving
The loss of friends and family
A few need a financial breakthrough
I am sad because
When they hurt, I hurt
Lord, you told me that those who are strong
Should help bear the infirmities of the weak
But I, myself, am often weak
Bogged down with my own problems
I can only lean on You
For my brothers and sisters
Are more burdened than I
Help me to help myself
So that in turn
I may help others
I thank and praise you in advance
Your child,
Andrea
