....the essence of this little girl called Fats………

There are many things I pray for Lord, some of which I can put to words and others that I cannot describe. All of which only You know.

I can pray for lots of money and wealth Lord, but that is not what my heart desires. For money is only important in this world, hence it is a material thing for this material world.

I can pray for success with my job, marriage, children, family but that too is material because true success comes from You and is with your approval.

Lord, I can pray for longevity of life but when there is bounty and everlasting life in the hereafter, why would I want to stay here?

In all perspective only the little things matter for it is the little things that pave way for the big ones.

Dear Lord, I do pray for contentment in this life and in the hereafter, to be happy in whatever and wherever I am and do.

I pray for happiness in my life, I pray for my parents, especially my mother. I pray that You guide them and show them truth.

Darling Lord, I pray that you guide me and protect me; I pray that You please forgive me Lord. I pray that You continue to support me, sustain me and comfort me.

Most important of all things that I can pray for my lord is that I never ever forget You, that I always continue to praise You, that I never forget to thank You for all that You do for me and for all that You are and mean to me.

I am very thankful, dearest Lord for every single mercy You show and award me. For all the comfort and joy You provide for me.

I am thankful Lord, for the guidance and protection You afford me.

I also am thankful Lord for the things I see that You do for me and that I do not know.

I thank You Lord, and I praise You for you are my Lord, the Great Lord, My King, my Creator, my God of today, and my God of yesterday and my God of tomorrow, the most Gracious Lord.

Words cannot explain the magnitude of thanks I have for You lord, You who from my existence has been guiding and protecting me. You - who has been sustaining me and has been merciful unto me, You my lord who has been providing for me, even when i have to be honest and say that i dont deserve it, you still provide for me, and help me out of tight spots that I (head strong girl that I am) put myself into.
Oba Aiye, Oba Ogo, for all my life i am indebted to you, and i am grateful, very grateful.

Lord, I sin almost every second, with every thought and at times it is beyond me how You still offer me Your protection daily. All I can think to say is that it is because You are All-forgiving and Most Merciful.
The expanse of Your love and mercy is beyond my contemplation and understanding but nevertheless I am very thankful and grateful for all that You do for me and I pray that You continue to protect, guide, forgive and inspire me.
