How I praise you, my God, for your goodness and grace, might and mercy, wonder and warmth, toil and tenderness, wrath and righteousness, life and love. I cannot begin to describe your greatness.  The earth with everything in and on it declares your majesty. The heavens proclaim your splendor. Ah, my Lord, I love you so. And I worship you.

The other day, Lord, I read about some people who communicate with the dead and they were so convincing. Luckily, I was able to search your Bible and learned you forbid such things because they are distortions of what is true. Satan distorted what you said in the Garden of Eden by making the forbidden so wonderful and he is still doing it.

You are doing everything possible to save me and everyone else in the world. You never stop trying. You gave me free will and shall not force me to come to you for refuge from Satan’s masquerades and empty promises.  So, you keep trying. When I begin to wander, you bring me back. When I spend my time selfishly, you nudge me. And you gave your Bible so I can read your mind and heart. Together we shall conquer Satan. Thank you, dear Lord, for loving me so tirelessly.
