I'm still a child, and this is my prayer.

Father, tonight I found out that a friend of mine was diagnosed with Leukemia three weeks ago. I went outside and cried for a while. Why does there have to be so much hurt in the world? Could she please live? I think that her family and friends would miss her beautiful radiance and light that she carries with her everywhere.
Father, would you please bless all of those who are serving our country tonight. They are sleeping in tents on the ground while I am in a comfortable bed, safe inside my apartment. Please let them return to their families. What courage they have to leave and go so far away to keep me safe. I wish I could thank every single one of them in person.
Father, would you watch over the small children in Africa tonight? They have so little, and they probably have nothing to eat. I may be a poor college student, but I have a house and plenty of food in my pantry. Please bless those beautiful, orphaned brown faces who are out in the dark tonight, scared and alone. I just wish that I could go and hep every single one of them.
Father, aI know that I am not perfect, but please help me to try my hardest. Please help me to bless the lives of those around me with love and compassion. Please help me to serve my roomates, friends, and family in any way that I can. Please help me to smile at those around me. I love it when others smile at me. Please help me to be genuine in everything that I do and to always be strong and stand up for what I believe in. Thank thee for my life, health, freedom, and safety. I am so blessed.
