Dear God, good morning. Today is my brother Willy’s birthday. He is now fifty-five years old. We’re Irish twins, eleven months apart. We look so much alike. People must think we’re actual twins. My brother is a great guy. I love him. He’s a cool guy. In God’s Promises for every day, today’s reading, “What to do When You Don’t Feel Important.” My heart tells me you’re always around me. He taught me about faith, love, prayer, peace, joy, kindness, patience, and goodness. The Scripture says, “I tell you the truth, whoever believes in me will do the same things I do. Those who believe will do even greater things than these because I am going to the father.”

John 14-12

God, you’re so powerful, you lifted me out of darkness, and my heart sing’s with joy. I’m so grateful to you, Jesus, and I love you. I believe in the New Testament and that God sent his only son to show the world that you, Jesus, died for our sins. I think that we can be reborn through baptism. I need God’s spirit with me all time. I feel secure when I feel his spirit. I believe a force of love inside of me that is unexplainable. I’m still learning about the Scripture and your teachings, sweet Jesus. Jesus, you are my father in heaven. I believe in you and trust you with all my heart. I don’t feel depressed today, which is a miracle. I feel so blessed to have you in my life, Jesus.

I once was an atheist. And you gently came to me, and I think you wrapped your loving arms around me that morning. There was a warm feeling around my body, and I stopped crying. Then I felt a sense of absolute peace in my soul. And that everything was going to be alright. You are my miracle. You saved me from my depression and sadness, and I only asked you, Jesus, to remove the depression because I could not function. You did remove the depression, but it is genetics. My mother suffered from her depression. My father suffered from bipolar, and he’d hid his money in drop ceilings. He trusted no one. Always saying, “No one is going through the front door.” We had three German Shepards to protect the house. My father, I believe, was schizophrenic and suffered without medicine.

Proverbs 3:25-26 writes, “You won’t be afraid of sudden troubles; you won’t fear the ruin that comes to the wicked, because the Lord will keep you safe. He will keep you from being trapped.” I genuinely believe that when trouble hits me, I don’t have to react as much as I used to, but today I respond, and I accept people, places, and situations for being exactly how you wanted them to be, Jesus. I love you. Today we’re going to the beach because I need a tan. Hampton Beach is so beautiful when you see the sunrise over the ocean. It’s magnificent and gorgeous. I can read my book; The Great Gatsby loved the movie with Loe Di Caprio, an incredible actor who loves Leo. Have a beautiful day, Jesus, and I love you, love me.
