Dear God,

I wasn't off to a good start this morning. The traffic was horrendous. But I'm grateful that I got to the office safely. I realize now that I have a lot to be thankful for - being alive, being in love, being in the company of loved ones. Thank you so much, Lord.

Today, I pray that I will be productive at work. That I can finish the tasks assigned to me. Help me Lord to be a good daughter, sister, girlfriend, and friend. Watch over me and my loved ones so that we'll draw closer to You. Lord, help us be good Christians and help us to love our neighbors as we love ourselves. Take away feelings of anger and resentment. Guide us so we'll know how to deal with aggravating situations, instead of giving in to anger. Grant us peace Lord and lead us so that all our joys and sorrows for this day and the next may be offered for your glory. This we ask, in Your son's name, Jesus Christ and through the intercession of Mary and the saints, Amen.

Dear God,

Thank You for all the blessings. Thank You for giving me one more day to live. Thank You for another chance to be a good daughter, sister, cousin, friend, office mate, employee and girlfriend. Lord, for everything that I am, thank You.

For this week, I lift up to You my family. May they always enjoy good health and your bountiful blessings. Lord, whether it would be through me or not, may they become closer to You. May they realize how important it is to have You in their lives. May they dedicate everything they have and their lives for Your glory.

In a special way, I lift up to You my enemies, especially the people who wish to do me and my loved ones harm. I pray that You will soften their hearts, O Lord. May Your peace reign and May we be more like You when confronted with difficult situations.

Lord, teach me how to pray. Show me how I can be a better Christian. Guide all my actions, thoughts and words.

All these I ask in Your Son's name, Jesus Christ; through the intercession of Mary and all the angels and saints. Amen.

Dear God,

It seems all I ever do these past few days is worry. And I'm tired, Lord. Really tired. And so I turn to You, because I believe that only You can free me from this. I trust that the peace I am looking for is something only You can give. Dear Lord, help me. I don't want to worry anymore. I don't want to doubt Your goodness. Help me be accepting of whatever crosses You want me to bear. Help me Lord to be your faithful daughter, and to do so without lashing out on You or my loved ones. Lord, if it's Your will, strengthen me and guide me in everything I do. Help me listen to Your voice. Again, I lift up everything to You. All these I ask through Your Son, Jesus Christ, through the intercession of Mary, all the angels and saints, Amen.

Dear God,

Today, I feel so much better and I thank You for giving me this day to be a better person. I think Lord, that it's time to forgive myself and to move on. Lord, I'm so grateful for all the blessings--
the time I get to spend with my loved ones, good health (the one thing I'm always worried about), my job...Thank You so much Lord. I may not always know how to please You but I believe that the desire to please You does in fact please You. And I hope that I'll always remember this, even when I'm faced with trying situations.

Lord, I pray for Your guidance today. Let me not dwell on negative feelings (anger, hurt, resentment). Renew me Lord, so I can be a better person. I offer this day to You, o Lord, all my accomplishments, thoughts, words. Please watch over me and my loved ones. Keep us safe and protect us from all evil. I ask in Jesus' name, Amen.

Dear God,

I'm not feeling 100 percent today. And I guess it has something to do with what happened yesterday. Lord, the guilt is laying heavily on my mind and I know that there's nothing I can do to take it back. And I'm sad because I feel like I have to choose between a good friend and my boyfriend. I really don't know what to do. I can only trust that You'll make a way for the two to become friends again. I may have made the whole thing messier. :(

Lord, I'm sorry for not taking this time to thank You for all the blessings You've given me and my loved ones. My heart is full of sorrow. And I know that's a lousy excuse. I'm really sorry. Lord, I don't have any special intentions for today. I'm just praying that Your love will strengthen me and carry me through this trying time in my life.

I pray in Jesus' name, Amen.

Dear God,

Thank You for today. Thank You for giving me another chance to be a good Christian. Thank You for preserving me and my loved ones through the long night. May You always watch over us and protect us from harm. O Lord, may You bless our health and our plans, that everything we do, say and think glorify You and Your works.

Dear God, for my special intentions I pray that You would increase my faith, so that I wouldn't worry needlessly. Help me align everything I do with Your Will. Lord, I do not know what this day, month or year holds for me, my family and friends. But I do know that if I continue to trust in You and follow Your commands, I and everyone I hold dear will not be forsaken. Lord, I entrust everything to You.

I ask in Jesus' name and through the intercession of Mary and all the angels and saints, Amen.

Dear God,

Thank You for giving me another day to live my life. Thank You for all the blessings. Thank You for keeping my loved ones safe and healthy.

Lord, for today I'm asking for guidance so that I may complete the tasks assigned to me. Help me Lord that I may be a better daughter, friend, co-worker, girlfriend, sister, and everything that You would have me be. Thank You Lord for blessing my health and for all the blessings that I sometimes fail to see.

Lord, please forgive me my sins, and I would also endeavor to forgive every wrong done to me. Lord, the day is just starting for me. And I do hope that everything I do is with the hope that it is according to Your will.

Kayo na po ang bahala.

I ask in Jesus' name, Amen.
