A Prayer for Thanksgiving Day

As I look out upon the course of my life, I see you my God. I look upon the journey I have made so far; the mountains I have climbed, and the valleys I have traveled; the oceans and deserts I have crossed; the people I have traveled with. In each you are there, though you may be hard to see sometimes. You guide me, guard me, teach me, and above all love me. Thank you so much my friend.

So now, as I face the road I have yet to travel, I look to you. There is so much uncertainty in the future. I can never know the twists and turns in store for me. But in all the joy, sadness, love, and pain that I will experience, I know that you will be there. Help me to always see you in the events and people of my life. Help me to remember that you are by my side throughout it all.

I am so fragile, imperfect, human, and I need you so. I may sometimes forget to say it, but know always that I love you. Thank you for loving me my friend.
