First of all, I would like to thank You for all the blessings You never fail to shower our family. We may not be a perfect or ideal Catholic family like what You commanded us to be, but still, You never let us suffer and face the hardships alone. Thank You for giving me the family I have now. Thank You for giving me to a very supportive, caring, and loving mother and a very family-oriented and hardworking father. Thank You for giving us the joy of our family, the one who never fails to make each one of us laugh during the down moments of our lives, my younger brother. Thank You for giving us the opportunities. The opportunities we know we do not deserve but we are very very grateful of, Almighty Father. Thank You for providing all of our needs, for the continuous good health to our family especially to our mother and father who works really hard to support our family. Thank You for the good community I am in and all those people around me who continue to serve as my inspiration in everything I do. Thank You for these talents that You have given me as I promise to You that I will use them in Your grace. Thank You for the friends and classmates I've met who shares their ups and downs with me as we learn from each other how to strive harder in everything we do and continue to give our best for a brighter future.
I am not a perfect child, Father. I make mistakes everyday. I hurt people, I ignore people. There are times wherein all I care and think about is myself, that I fail to consider the feelings of others. I take advantage of a lot of things- my studies, my parents, my friends, and sometimes, I even take advantage of myself. I get blinded by the temporary happiness material things bring that I forget to talk to You.
Now Father, I am asking for Your guidance as I continue my journey one step at a time. Tomorrow, our grades will be released and I fear that I'd have failing grade/s this time. If that happens, this would be my first time to have a failing grade and to attend a summer class. I fear, Father, that everything I worked seriously hard for would be disregarded. I really enjoy this course I am taking up now, not just because of the friends I've met, but also because, this has always been my dream. I dream of being a pedia someday and this course serves as my stepping stone towards pursuing my dreams. I would get the chance to work with children as I always wanted and maybe, save lives in the long run. I am asking for Your continuous guidance, wisdom, and grace, Dear God, so I may continue on to the next level of my journey. Help me to find the confidence and learn to trust myself and the gifts you have given me to pursue my dreams. Lead me as to which is the right path for me to take and keep me from influences that might lead to the ending of my journey. Lead me to Your teachings My Lord and I ask You to please, strengthen my faith in You.
I also pray for my brother that he may find in his heart what it is that he really wants to be in life and lead him to the right path. I also pray for my friends that they may find the Light and lead them also to Your plans..
Let Your Will Be Done, My Lord. For all of life's love and happiness starts with You.
This I humbly pray, in Your most precious name, Our Lord Jesus Christ.
Amen.
Your Daughter,
Mariah
