Trapped in a world of my thoughts.

Dear Lord,

Thank you for a strong and healthy daughter that can kick and scream and cry in her sleep.  Thank you, Lord for one that tosses and turns and allows me to know that she is still breathing by basically kicking me out of my own bed on a nightly basis.  Thank you, Lord for daddy-hood.  Actually, Lord, of course, thank you for my other daughter who probably will be doing the same when she gets a little older.  Thank you, Lord for family.  Thanks for my wife.  Thank you for a strong women that does not back down from anything, speaks her mind and has changed my heart.  She basically kicks me when I am asleep, too.  Except when she does it when I SHOULD be awake, cause it is the middle of the day and I am driving on the freeway.  Thank you for allowing her to be my backbone and support.  Again, thank you for family.

I thank you, Lord Jesus for providing for your humble servant.  One who doesn't always do right, yet you still take care of him and his family like a proud FATHER.  If I didn't know better, your love makes me think that I AM DOING right.  But, that is only your grace.  Your grace that puts up with me on the regular.  What would I do without your grace, Lord Jesus?  Thank you.  I thank you for patience and guidance and trust and love.  I thank you for the future that you already have planned out for me.  I just thank you. 

The house is quiet.  The rugrats are knocked out.  My wife is sound asleep.  The nanny is too.  I hear nothing but my thoughts.  My thoughts are scary a lot of times.  I hardly like to be alone with them.  I feel like they trap me in a closet and force me to listen to them.  Although, I try to talk loud to myself to avoid hearing them, they seem to think louder, get my attention and before you know it, I am listening to them, again. 

Okay, I know this is gonna sounds crazy, but sometimes, I believe my thoughts are led by evil forces.  They are led by my flesh and my flesh is always up to no good.  And yet, other times, they are YOU talking to me, Lord. 
Sometimes I think you are them and they are you.  Sometimes, I have no idea which is which. Why can't I tell the difference?  I mean, YOU and him are so not alike.  I should be able to tell the difference between right and wrong...right?  Sometimes the EVIL thoughts persona talks a good game like he is you.  If I don't obey these thoughts, I am not working for the LORD, he says to me.  

My thoughts drive me crazy.  Basically, sometimes I wish I could do without them.  I shall never look at a homeless man the same way, again.  When I see them talking to themselves...I might have an idea what is going on.  I do the same thing.  Only, I change clothes and take a shower every now and then.  I so wish my thoughts were only controlled by my spirit.  It is not a fantasy.  I know that they can be.  I am positive that many people live that way every day.  Many people don't live in fear of their thoughts.  I want to be one of those people, Lord.

Thank you, Jesus for giving me the talent to write and express, even if my expression is crazy.  I might even write this out as a poem.  Yup, if the kids stay asleep, I might start it right now.  Thank you, Jesus.  I pray to have a GREAT and WONDERFUL day, today.  I pray that my wife and kids and everyone that steps through this house on this day have a blessed day.  I AM EXPECTING GREAT THINGS.   

Bless me indeed and enlarge my territory.  keep your hands on me and keep me from my enemies so that I may cause no pain.  In your Heavenly, Holy name, Jesus name...AMEN.

Keep it Natural.
