Dear God,

Thank you for all the times you have been there for me. Such as the times I have drowned in all-encompassing darkness and pain, you were the only one by my side.  Please, God, continue to be with me.

I know I should have died many times but here I am.  Perhaps I had important work to do, like helping to raise my grandson.  Please, God, keep me mentally and emotionally balanced so I can be the best grandmother and mother I can be.

I appreciate the chances you give me each day to make amendments to my children for all the times I was too deep in my bipolar disease to realize the way my actions affected them.  I can’t undo the past but thanks to you, every second is a new beginning.  I know that staying in the present moment and turning my will and life over to your care is the answer to a better life. 

I am grateful for your guidance in navigating my life. Left alone to my own devices, sometimes, I make bad choices. Please help me make better choices

Thank you for loving me. I know that I am your precious child. This thought always makes me cry.  I don’t have anybody else that loves me so deeply and constantly.  

Always Yours,

MariVal
