Dear God,

Thank you for always having time for me. I open my heart allowing you alone to see deep inside. If any wounds remain, oh God, apply the healing balm. I have discovered so much about you over the years. I started out knowing you were powerful, but I must admit I was afraid to get close. After all, I had been rejected many times. I came to the place and accepted you and now call you Savior. I need to know feel you wash over me until all pain is gone. Wash away my doubts and my uncertainty. I desire to dwell under your shadow. I want to abide in your peace. Your love has drawn me closer, and I have learned to trust you.

I have longed for acceptance for so long, and now I feel the courage to call you Abba- Father God. I have been amazed at your faithfulness. Thank you for loving me when I have been unlovable. I am sorry I hurt you when I choose to hide in sin and darkness. Thank you for forgiving me. I see that you only want the best for me. When I was a child, I dreamed of a hero. I often wondered if someone would ride in and save the day. I sought someone who could rescue me from my pit of despair. Thank you for sweeping me away with your great love. Truly you have been my hiding place, and my strong tower.

Realization creeps in, and I want to weep. I realize that you make no mistakes, and that I have purpose and destiny. Hope arises in me and I feel that I can mount up on eagle's wings. I want to soar through realms of glory. New desires are awakening in my soul. Circumstances and confusion are no longer welcome, for I am able to run to my God. For you alone are the only true God. I can't pretend to understand all your ways, but I trust you. I know you have a plan for me and it is good, and not evil. All things are working for good. I have been called according to your purposes. Father God, thank you for raising me up to be all I could be. My love for you is too great for words. I feel like your little princess. I hear you whisper to me, whatever you need; I have it, just reach out and grab it.

A broken vessel now becomes something beautiful. God, you are the creator of all things, and by your will they exist. I was created for something great, and for that I worship you. My heart and soul cry out for you alone. I will love you forever. Thank you for you unfailing love. Nothing will separate me from you. I was once blind, but now I see. I see a good God who will never leave me or forsake me. I receive grace, peace, and favor. Thank you for my new beginning. Old things are passed away, and behold all things new!
