A Prayer For Strength

Dear God...

A Prayer For Strength
Ailie Davidson

Dear God,

Life isn't a strong beam of sunshine 100 percent of the time. Sometimes it's just rays. Everyone experiences pain, confusion, troubles, hardships and obstacles. We all struggle; some people struggle all the time and some people struggle more than others. Lord, help them, save them, empower them, guide them, love them, motivate them. Bless them with strength. Bless them with strength from you, and strength they can find within themselves. Even if they’re not aware, or even if they are, I know Lord, that you are there with them. Whatever these people may be going through, grant them hope. Hope that this storm will pass, that things will get better and that the sun will peek out of the clouds soon. Remind them that in the end, everything will be okay, because you have a mighty plan. Things may be difficult now, and the question of why may be reoccurring, but help these people to find the blessings. Help them to find the blessings within the struggles, and embrace the lessons the struggles may contain; help them find the positives. Kindly touch them with your divine presence, and make them whole again. You Lord, are powerful.

Finally Lord, give them the endurance to continue, to push through, to fight. Take away their worries, struggles and troubles. Direct them to peace, understanding and positivity. Uplift them and enlighten them with your existence and accompaniment.

Thank you Lord, for your gracious presence. Please help, love, guide and empower all of us in need; give us strength.

Amen

I've been super busy lately with school work, studying, etc. Besides the fact that I do nothing but AP chemistry and AP economics, I constantly think of stupid questions that are almost impossible to answer. So, maybe you could answer them for me, and if not then we can both wonder what the answers to these 15 questions could be.

To My Loving Boyfriend,

  • Thank you for all that you do for me
  • Thank you for working through disagreements with me
  • Thank you for always supporting me
  • I appreciate you more than words can express
  • You have helped me grow and become a better person
  • I can't wait to see where life takes us next
  • I promise to cherish every moment with you
  • Thank you for being my best friend and confidante
  • I love you and everything you do

To start off, here's something I don't say nearly enough: thank you. Thank you, thank you, thank you from the bottom of my heart. You do so much for me that I can't even put into words how much I appreciate everything you do - and have done - for me over the course of our relationship so far. While every couple has their fair share of tiffs and disagreements, thank you for getting through all of them with me and making us a better couple at the other end. With any argument, we don't just throw in the towel and say we're done, but we work towards a solution that puts us in a greater place each day. Thank you for always working with me and never giving up on us.

Ah, yes, good old Hauppauge. We are that town in the dead center of Long Island that barely anyone knows how to pronounce unless they're from the town itself or live in a nearby area. Hauppauge is home to people of all kinds. We always have new families joining the community but honestly, the majority of the town is filled with people who never leave (high school alumni) and elders who have raised their kids here. Around the town, there are some just some landmarks and places that only the people of Hauppauge will ever understand the importance or even the annoyance of.
