Dear Daddy

On Earth, in Spirit, I want to call on your holy name with my brothers and sisters.
We need your Kingship. We need your Leadership. We need to hear from you.
Your Kingdom is so unlike Earth. Your Kingdom is full of what you want to see.
Where and when can I help make a place here like that?

Help me pay off these past years of debt, to prepare me for a future not far off.
And strengthen me, Lord, as I fall on you again and again and again. I need you, Lord.
I've failed you, Lord. Help me to accept the failure of others like you've accepted me.
Nobody owes me anything down here. Keep me safe from temptation.
Keep me far from the influence of evil.

Only you bring the Kingdom. Use your Power to Reveal Christ.

I wish I could dwell in your House all my days. Make it so again, soon, Lord.

And may all this be to me as you desire...
