Hello all, it has been quite sometime since I've been on, a few months in fact, and now with these unforeseen circumstances that have plagued our world right now, it's only fair that I take some time, since I have a lot of it now being home and all, to just post a quick prayer and also thank the heavenly father for guiding me through it all thus far. Indeed these are some trying times for our world, the world we knew, just a few months ago, isn't the world we know now. Everything is different, everything has changed, lifestyles have been impacted, routines have become the norm for most, and the way the world is running now is not something anyone would have ever dreamed of or expected in their lifetime. But alas, it's all happening, right in front our eyes. It's not easy, e everyone has a complaint, things are tough, lives are unsteady, some even fearful. However there are those that see the better days that are in store, the brighter times that are ahead, the believers that truly feel that there's a way out, that things will get better, all through Christ. I believe myself to be one, as I truly believe God is in charge, it's not for me to foresee or predict, but to just trust the process and have faith. I not only speak these words due to this pandemic, but I speak it over my entire life and all that is going on in it right now. I thank God for watching over my family, taking care if them and protecting them from any harm or illness, and I ask that you continue to be with us and guide us. Continue shedding your light and prevent any evil or animosity from infiltrating my home and the homes of all my other relatives. I pray that we all stay safe and keep the faith even stronger now. Also at this point in my life, it is a major uncertainty as to when I'll be able to write my final exams and graduate with my associate's degree from my high school, dear God I ask that you show us a way, help my friends and I at the same time to focus on what's important, give us the strength, motivation and willpower to continue or work, studying, and sacrificing some of our free time now to pushing for success at these exams, whenever they might be. Oh father I ask that you guide me along this path, help me over every obstacle, and instill in me the drive to continue moving forward even when I feel like giving up. Also watch over all my friends and everyone I truly care about, at this critical time in our history. Please let the Earth continue to heal, but now please allow the world to recover from all that it's been through. Cleanse the Earth and all who inhabit it, and let us not take for granted the lives that we have, and the good fortunes we are blessed with. Let this period in our history help us to be grateful for the things we so often take for granted, like our 'simple' health. In closing, I just want to thank God for allowing me to see my 19th Birthday this year, I truly am grateful for every moment I spent, and for the life that you breathe in me every day. My birthday wasn't what I expected, certainly not, but it had its surprises and I know how special it is to even celebrate a birthday now, some people don't even get get to see all of their teenage years and live to see this age, so almighty God, thank you so much. I pray these things in your son's precious name, Amen.
