Oh, Father God, my heart is open to you, come in and abide within. Take away my fear and loneliness. Give me wisdom and love. Make me happy, healthy and productive for you. Enlarge my territory. Protect me and those I love from the evil one satan. Call us home to be where you are soon. I love and praise your son, Jesus. - Marilyn
