Dear God


Dear God,


I ask for strength

I ask to live each day walking on a straight path, where I may not stumble

To live a life not so full of fear, but fortitude and perseverance

To not cease for a moment and doubt my abilities

To not question my worth and value as a person

To stop comparing myself to others

I ask for intelligence, confidence, and persistence to succeed

I do not ask for fame, luxury, or luck

But, instead to reveal to me the purpose to my struggles

I choose not to give up, yet I lose balance on every step

Slowly but surely, I will get there to the unconfirmed

If all fails, I will turn the other way because I know, that path was not for me

My path is much more glorious than that
