Thoughts on being alive.

Lord, help me not to take things for granted.

Help me to always notice the beauty of the world around me because there are those who can't see it.

Help me to appreciate the sounds of birds flapping their wings to take flight, the laughter of other people, and other beautiful sounds because there are those who can't hear them.

Help me to deeply feel the love of those who offer it to me because there are those who wait for it and may never find it.

Help me to never take my life as a whole for granted. Help me to feel every moment, to live every second to its fullest potential, and to not hold back from feeling things to the fullest extent.

Help me to always realize the simple value of things I encounter daily, and usually use or view without second thought.

Help me to never take my parents or brothers for granted because there are those who have lost theirs and would give anything to have what I have.

Help me to love and appreciate my friends and enjoy every second I get to spend with them.

Help me to dream as big as I possibly can dream, and to run after them with faith that You will bring to life all that matches up with Your purposes for me.

Help me to not glide through moments, but instead to live a life of being aware of how very blessed I am.

Help me to live with a passion and neverending will to thrive, and help me to never lose a passion and hunger to see others come to know You, and find a deeper meaning in all of these details of life.

Help me to truly live, and to do this in a way that honors and glorifies You. Allow me to see Your hand and Your heart in these seemingly simply circumstances and events, and to praise You for every bit of it.
