Dear Father,
Please forgive me for harboring an ungrateful
heart filled with fear.
Please replace it with a grateful heart filled with
joy because the future belongs to you and so do I.
Allow me to replace negativity with positivity.
Replace fear with joy.
Replace anxiety with the confidence of faith.
And replace food with prayer.
