Heavenly Father, Help Me to Turn to You: 

When I need a friend - or am surrounded by friends; 

When my heart beats fast - and my faith is slow to respond; 

When I'm in pain - or when I have caused pain; 

When I need to forgive - or be forgiven; 

When the night is long - and the sunrise brilliant; 

When my life is full - and my heart isn't; 

When I search for joy - and it's right here in me; 

When I need to console - or be consoled; 

When I speak of good things - and fall short of doing them; 

When I encourage others - and when I need encouragement; 

When I'm enduring grief - and when others are grieving; 

When I smile at strangers - and when they smile at me. 

Help me to turn to you. To Praise. To Ask. To Share. To Thank. 

Amen
