Hello, God. I Called Tonight to Talk a Little While.

I called tonight to talk a little while. I need a friend who will 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 will 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 fate they are bound.

Give me faith, 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, never had to pay a dime.

So, thank you, God, for listening to my troubles and my sorrow – good night, God, I love you too, and I will call again tomorrow.  Author Unknown
