A Divine Prayer

Dear God

I surrender to you all my pain and suffering, my
doubts and fears.

I know With You all that may seem dark can turn to
Light

Please guide me and set my feet towards You and
not the path that I have taken and ended up here
where I can’t seem to find You

Help me to forgive my past, restore and heal me.

Please lift me up and give me strength and please
help me not stray again

Help me live the life you intend for me to live

I am at your feet

Amen

way to reach out to whoever gets inspired or has an eye opening event within them that may transcend their current state of consciousness. “Or let’s say current
emotional state too. If one in a thousand benefits, that is already great.” Due to the current world state, lots of struggles and stresses, we seem to lose touch with
that inner peace that we long for, Suresh explains. “I wish to ease that through these small articles or tidbits.” You will find his tidbits in Aruba Today, like a sunray
