Dear God

It is just me again.
You know I have this group of friends
that I need you to take care of and watch over.
They are not all from my town,
and some not even in the same state.
They are scattered all over.

We send e-mails to each other, 
speak on the phone at times, and 
there are a lot that I have been lucky enough

to share a real hug with over the course of time!

There is so much going on in the world,
and it scares me,
you see I care about these friends,
and God that is why I am asking you
to please watch over them  and protect them.

I would never have imagined that
I could care and even love

these special friends so much

they HAVE made such a difference in my life!!

The truth is loving and truly caring about a person
begins in the heart, and it stays inside of the heart.
I ask you God to give my friends
health, happiness and peace,
please take care of them, and guide them. 

I have been so blessed to have found

so many 'special' friends from all around.
I have learned that although some of us
have different beliefs and we live differently,
we are so much alike,
all hoping for the same things in life,
true happiness.

Please God,
Bless each one of these friends
that have touched my life in one way or another.

I know that each one of these folks 
has been placed in my path for a reason,

so I ask you once again God,
protect them, guide them,
keep them safe, love them and
Bless them throughout their lives.
Amen
