dear Jesus,

please help me understand that my hardships now are nothing,
nothing compared to those who are living in war torn places,
people who live in fear of their lives being taken away,
or those who wish they were dead instead of alive,
people who live in poverty stricken or disease infested places..

please remind me of how fortunate i am,
to have a complete happy family,
and amazing supportive friends,
for the love and care i get from them.
thank You for sparing me from the harsh emotional traumas of broken families.

Thank You Jesus for granting me and my brother the chance for education,
every time we feel like complaining about how hard a subject is,
how boring or uninteresting it may be,
remind me that there are thousands out there wishing they could read,
praying and hoping they would have a classroom,
an opportunity for education.

Dear Jesus,
thank you for my life,
and for still taking care of me even though i always take things for granted.
I love you :)
