A Letter to God

Dear God,

Please give me strength - physically, mentally and emotionally to get through my days, especially on days when he is needy, whiney and uncooperative. Help me to control my anger and my voice. Stop me when I am at the verge of losing it myself. Give me gentleness and firmness in my voice so that I don't shout and scream at him whenever things don't go my way.

Please help to listen with both my heart and my mind when he speaks. Let me understand him better of his needs and wants. Give me humility so that I don't battle with him when it is unnecessary. Give me patience, for me to give him space and time to do things at his own pace.

Amen.
