Hello, God.

  I called tonight to talk a little while.  I need a friend who'll listen to my anxiety and trial.  You see, I can't quite make it through a day just on my own.  I need your love to guide me, so I'll never feel alone.  I want to ask you please to keep my family safe and sound.  Come and fill their lives with confidence for whatever they're bound.  Give me surety, dear God, to face each hour throughout the day and not to worry over things I can't change in any way.
  I thank you, God for being home and listening to my call, for giving me such good advice when I stumble and fall.  Your number, God is the only one that answers every time.  I never get a busy signal.  So thank you, God, for listening to my troubles and sorrow.  Good night.  I love you, too and I will call again tomorrow.
