Dear Heavenly Father I thank thee for thy faithfulness in keeping thy promise to never forsake me.  In my sin thou has not condemn me of judgement but allowed consequences to suffer my heart and cause me to turn from my ways.  Thou art long suffering for even in my sin thou provides for my need and does not allow Satan to get full hold on my life.  I dwell in my misery and I call upon thy spirit but thou has not tired from hearing me nor grow intolerant to my failings in obeying thee.  Thy love for me exceeds all things in the world and I am restored of receiving thy mercy with each obedience and thanksgiving unto thee for all that I possess.  I recommit to sacrifice my will and perform thy will for me in producing fruits of thy spirit.  Thy commandment I will keep also for they preserve my life and my joy in this mortal body.  The suffering and afflictions I feel are for growth of my spirit and become benefit unto me for all eternity for it is the work of thy hand to exalt me and perfect me some day.  All suffering and oppression are in vain when they are given of Satan in our love for things of the world.  But in the service of our Father in heaven all affliction are worthy of suffering for they are for our own growth and maturity and glory unto our Father who works all things for good of our eternal well being.  I cannot comprehend all that thou has prepared for those who love thee for I cannot imagine beyond things of this world.  My eyes are on my goal to doing thy will day by day, growing little by little, coming closer to thee prayer by prayer on my knees.  I love thee and I will prove myself to thee in my covenant to obey thy commandments and I daily seek thy help to be faithful in my promise to thee.  I sought thy help also to have heart of charity for I struggle to give fully in service to thy people.  I sought thee for thy gift to be able to bless others with my words that I would have discernment to comfort and give relief to their heavy yoke.  I am renewed in spirit and conviction to perform good deeds of righteousness.  I observe thy commandments daily and set my mind to obey them and ask that I sin not against thee and that I would always desire to do thy will.  My flesh taunts me with temptation of excess in all things but thy words are always before me to remind me of thy hope to bless me in choosing righteousness.  Thy words inspire me to forsake coveting things of the world and look to fullness of joy that awaits me in completion of this life in obedience of all thy commandments. I will be faithful unto thy word through every affliction for test of trials in this life will gain unto me everlasting reward and everlasting life in thy holy and almighty presence.
