Dear God - for my friends

Hi God,


You know I have this group of friends
that I need you to take care of and watch over.
They are not from my town,
and most are not even in the same state,
in fact there are some that live in a different country.
They are scattered all over the world.
I met them on the Internet.
We send emails to each other and we chat.
It does not matter if we have met or not
these people are my friends.
There is so much going on in the world,
and it scares me, you see I care about these friends
that I have met, and God that is why I am asking you
to please watch over them and protect them.
I would never have imagined that I could care
and even love someone that I have only met online.
The truth is loving and truly caring about a person begins
in the heart, and it stays inside of the heart.
I ask you God to give my friends happiness and peace,
please take care of them, and guide them.
Through the Internet I have been so lucky
to found have friends from all over the world.
I have learned that although some of us
have different beliefs and we live differently,
we are so much alike, all hoping for the same things in life,
true happiness.

Please God,
Bless each one of these friends
that have touched my life in one way or another.
I know that each person that I have met
through the Internet has been placed in my path for a reason,
so I ask you once again God, protect them,
guide them, keep them safe, love them and Bless them throughout their lives

Pauline - what Ann said! That was beautiful. Did you write that? It is such as perfect description of how I feel inside.

Thank you!

No - I wish I had written it!!

A dear friend that I met on this site when she was looking for a rehab for her daughter in my area sent it to me. It says exactly how I feel about all of you too!!!
