Next phase in life

This is it everyone.

I am finally going in to the army.

Pray for me, for I know it will be a tough ride ahead.


I ask that I have the strength to remain faithful, to love God and my fellow man.


Dear Lord, of all the gifts You have given me, I thank You most of all for my conscience, for giving me an acute understanding of morality in mine and other peoples actions.

Dear Lord, help me to overcome the feelings of disdain for my conscience due to the responsibility it brings to me. Help me to know that regardless of what happens, I should not desire the temptation of sin. Though I may be tempted, let me not desire for it.


Dear Lord,

The path ahead looks gloomy and difficult. Already, even before my enlistment, I have been dealt a heavy blow. But Lord, I want to remain steadfast in Your love. Help me to overcome my feelings of anger, of wrath, of destruction. Help me to overcome my feelings of hatred. What you have gifted unto me oh Lord, I should be ready to part with, for it was not mine but Yours.

Help me to let go...open mine eyes to Your will.

Help me to FORGIVE.

In this I pray to you Lord, Amen
