Overwhelmed with His Blessings

Lord,
   You are good. You are love. You are faithful. You are reliable. You are my happiness.You are my heart's desire. You, Oh Lord, are my everything.
   I praise You and thank You for all the blessings You have bestowed on me, but I thank You mostly for the people You have placed in my life.
   The past few years You have helped me to put down my pridefulness and be able to ask others for help when I need it. It's such a hard thing to do as human beings, because we see it as a sign of weakness. In fact it is just the opposite. If we are able to reach out and ask our brothers and sisters in Christ for help, that shows signs of strength. We are able to lay aside our pride and depend on our Christian family to help carry our burdens, which You said we should not carry alone.
   Lord, in the past few days, and even weeks, You have reminded me of those who are reaching out to me and longing to help me and take care of me now. Their small blessings and encouraging and kind words towards me go a long way and I am thankful. These people will never know how much they've touched my heart and my life. I ask that You would bless them in return.
   God, in the past few months You have been faithful and loving to me. I don't know why I continue to be surprised by You, but You amaze me everyday. You show me something new and something worthwhile and speak to me each day. It has kept life refreshing and full of happiness and positiveness. I've experienced my lowest of lows in life and during that time I was living life my way, not Yours. Without letting You have control of my life was the hardest thing I've experienced and I've just realised that. When You are in control, life may not always go the way I expect it, but You will not leave me or keep me in the dark. I desire to always rely and trust you wholeheartedly.
   Father, You know the desires of my heart and what I most long for. As patient as I have been in certain areas of my life, I pray that I will be patient in these other areas of my life. Help me to be so lost in Your love that it would allow me and help me to wait. I've experienced and know that Your timing is always the best timing for my life and what You have planned for it. These longings are tearing at my heart and I ask that You would allow me to wait, patiently.
  Lord, I love you with all of my heart.
