I know I haven’t said it so much recently, but I do really love you. I do.

I see everything you do. The people you send my way. The daily reassurances. You are so intentional about me. So sweet. But Daddy I wish I could do better.

I know you want me to trust you better. You need more consecration and commitment from me. You have placed certain responsibilities in my hands. Daddy, I know I can’t afford to fail you.

I wouldn’t want to make so many promises. But I promise to allow my trust in you to prevail over my fear, doubts, and inconsistencies.

Daddy, I’m not afraid of falling because I know you will be there all the time to pick me up. I can embrace this journey boldly because I know I’m not alone. You already promise to never leave me nor forsake me.

Daddy, at no point in this journey, should I forget that I have your Spirit that lives inside of me. Help me to take advantage of that privilege.

Teach me to identify, understand and listen to your prompting and warning. You said only those that are led by the Spirit are the sons of God.

The places I go, people I meet, conversations I hold, decisions I make, are Spirit led.

Daddy, I’m not at the wrong place at the right time. I do not listen to wrong counsel. I do not make wrong decisions. Because I’m directed by you.

Father teach me love, hope, and faith. Teach me patience and long-suffering. Teach me forgiveness and kindness.

Help me to reflect your light and be a good representative of your kingdom.

Thank you Daddy.

Your Son,

Emmanuel.

Dear reader, I know it gets overwhelming sometimes. When you feel the urge to talk to someone, remember God is always ready to listen and act. You can start talking to God about everything today.

To make this journey easy for you, I would be recommending the ‘Dear God Podcast’.

You would absolutely love it. Please share thoughts with me via the comment section. I would be reading.
