Interpretation
Dear God,
thank you for taking the time to listen to me.
You know that I am just a human.
You know that I make mistakes,
but I believe that there is a spiritual part of my life.
As we begin this new millennium,
I want to help more than hurt,
be more grateful than complain.
I want to build people up, not bring them down.
I want to know you better
and live my life more as you have intended for me.
I may not be there completely yet,
so I ask for your help.
And by speaking this prayer,
I take a step closer.
