My life has taught me to survive much pain by not to giving up on what is good. I feel like giving up but then the kind words and invitations to do good by others carries me to another day. I am in so much pain that all I can see and prefer to to see is what brings me down. It's easier and increasingly confirming to give into what I hear the most. I tend to believe what is not true because I have habit of dismissing what my heart says and convince myself into decisions that is not of me. Much of what I tell myself is not of me nor true of who I am. I know my heart but I cannot stand up to defend it for I lack confidence in my truth. I come to my resting place of scripture reading and prayers and think on what I have been dealt and practice speaking what is in my heart. I consider the consequences of my words and other's habitual reactions and I conclude that it is alright for others to oppose for it is well worth practicing to be courageous. I long to speak my mind and yet I judge myself harshly when I have been wrong that feel hesitant to voicing my words again. I see that this is my weakness for then it also causes me to judge others harshly in my heart. I have resolved to listen and speak when I can be of help and when being asked. When I am wrong I tell myself I am deserving of same mercy Jesus Christ has shown unto others for I am remorseful and repentant. I assure myself with kind words and forgiveness and practice saying I can be just as wrong as others and I love myself for truly trying and doing better for what I know to be true and good. I am not afraid to try because I am not as afraid to make mistake or be wrong for now I encourage myself to be better as easily as I encourage others around me.

Thank you Heavenly Father for these many days of pleasantness and goodness in my life. There is calmness in thy leading and wherever thou causes me to go or do, it is accomplished smoothly and assuredly. Thou hears my sincere prayers and grants me thoughts and understandings to come upon me to bless my path in this mortal life. Thou also blesses my heart and my day through works of thy people who render their help and comfort me in my distress. Thy saints are my true friends who are forgiving and gentle in their correction. Thy chosen leaders in thy church guides and inspires me to follow the light, truth, and wisdom of Jesus Christ. We are often forewarned of dark works of satan and his followers on earth and all works that causes us to compromise our soul for gain of false friendship, riches, power, and pleasure. My heart and soul are bound unto thee for I have chosen the path of Savior and I am faithful to partake of thy word daily that I do not fall away from thy presence and be bound to follow satan unto hell. Thy word guides me and teaches me how to be blessed by thy almighty hand and thy saints are my family in Christ who helps and comforts me in my trials. My soul is secure by faith in thy promises and I am content in this mortal afflictions for I know with all assurance that I am heaven bound. And with this knowledge I can be confident of my rewards and I am driven to overcome my weaknesses by rendering all my cares upon my eternal Father in heaven. As long as I have my breath I will trust Him to bring me up to be worthy of praising His name and to dwell in His presence forever and ever for my goal is ever toward thee and thy glory.

Thy word grants me wisdom to discern my steps and grants me understanding of heavenly conduct that I may know how to love others as I love myself. Thou teaches me wisdom and understanding in things of the world and in things of heaven for thou loves' to show me the ways to be blessed of thy hand. Thou loves me as thine own for I am made by thy hand and thy word instructs my heart to follow in thy Savior's steps that I can once again bask in thy protection and thy deliverance.

Thank you Heavenly Father for although changes are constant in our lives, thy holy teachings, promises, and blessing accompany us to sustain our hearts and give us hope for greater things in eternal life. Thy ways do not change for thou art firm and steadfast in thy power and in love for thy people. Thy holy words stand as truth now and for all eternity for by thy word all things were established and by thy truth thou will reign over every soul with justice and mercy. Thy daily mercy assures us of thy love for us and help us to see the goodness in this world. Thy words tells us that our spirit came from thee, that our purpose in this life is to practice obeying thy word, and we were given free will to choose following in steps of Jesus Christ to be back in thy presence. Thou has taught us to be mindful of thy words always for it will disperse all evil thoughts and allow Holy Spirit to guide us and remind us of word of wisdom we have read. Thy word is our defense against all temptation and cause us to grow like unto thy holy spirit. Thou has great plans to cause us to do great works for thy kingdom and for thy people for thou are able to accomplish all impossible goodness to come to pass in us in our humble state. I trust in thy plans for my life to make me full of thy likeness in virtue and integrity and I will not murmur in thy correction for I am being made to be perfected. This life is a test for us to practice being perfect in righteousness for every situation is an opportunity for us to resolve trials His way and perform by example of Jesus Christ. I thank thee Heavenly Father for thou does not make us pass through this life in vain but for thy great purpose in working all things for good of all thy people.
Thank you Heavenly Father for being our all powerful, all wise, and all knowing God of our spirit. It comforts me that in all my imperfections of character and in my deeds, thou has set out a perfect plan to train our spirit into perfect beings some day. Thy word is my constant companion for it is my guide and way to gaining eternal salvation in thee. My days are lacking in progress for I struggle in confidence in thee and I am discouraged by evident shortcomings in my abilities. Yet when I obey they words again, thou causes me to prosper in flesh and rich in thy wisdom. Help me to have faith in thee that is constant flow as thy waves and have faith in thy power to accomplish in me all that is impossible for me to accomplish. The things I learn escapes me swiftly and much things of the world does not make sense to my understanding. I am not wise even in caring for my own children therefore, I am faithful to dedicate them in thy care. Even when I have given my all, I have feared for their soul and searched thy word for all wisdom and understanding to teach my children in thy ways. The working temptations of Satan works in hearts of my children to disobey and rebel against thy commandments. I need thee to cause thy little ones to obey thy word for they are not ready to humble to thy spirit and easily thwarted by temptations of the flesh. Heavenly Father please receive my children in thy daily care for it is impossible for me to accomplish anything wonderful with out thy help. I dedicate their soul and their lives unto thee that they will come unto thee and that their hearts will take root in thy word that all may go well with them here and in eternity.

Thank you Heavenly Father for all that I have acquired in possession and all that I have gained in spiritual growth by thy hand. My home is a wonderful place of refuge for thou has blessed it and thy word is a standard that we try to achieve and learn upon rising and laying down. At times much time is passed in enjoyment of thy blessings that I have not sought thy work through out my days. I am mindful of thy constant watch over me but pleasures of possessions has drawn me into momentary idleness and vain of heart. My days were consumed with maintaining worldly goods that I have neglected to worship thee many mornings and nights. I have allowed thy goodness to consume my heart and i became busy body dwelling in pleasure that I have neglected to observe thy commandment. I have not pray unto thee for straight and narrow path into eternal life nor did I pray for those who are in need of thy salvation for their souls. The devil has lead me carefully down to iniquity and I have allowed evil thoughts to sway me from my promise unto thee to be faithful in obedience till thy return. In my deep remorse and shame I have come unto thee for forgiveness and to seek spirit of Holy Ghost to be within me once again and my heart sought thee sincerely and truthfully. I went about doing good and looked forward to what's before me in serving thee and thy people. My prayers and study of thy word has granted me renewed conviction and inspiration to follow thy son Jesus Christ. As often as thou provides for every meal and every raiment, please sow in our hardened hearts true love for thy word and heart of a true servant. My desire is to have thy heart and be able to know and understand thy people through thy merciful eyes. My desire is to perform thy works with joy and provide true need and comfort unto thy people. Please help us to see the truth of thy light and as much as thou grants us sunshine and rain, grant us new heart that only seeks things of purity and virtue. Grant us heart that can be disciplined and humbled to thy will Heavenly Father. Help us be strengthened that our hope in thee cannot be wavered in midst of persecution and offenses. As much as thou sustains our life, grant us heart to desire thy glory in our suffering and trials for only thou art worthy of our praise, thanksgiving, and sacrifice of our will.
