Heavenly Father, as a child I mostly thought of you as a 'granter of wishes'. As an adult I now understand that having a relationship with you is not about wishes. It is about Faith and Trust; Hope and Honesty.
Help me to be honest with myself and you. You know my heart and my deepest desires. Please answer my prayers according to your wishes - your will - so that your will may be done in me. May my prayers include the intentions and needs of others more than for myself.
Through your Son Jesus - with the intersession of Mary - may I continue to grow as a person of Faith, Hope and Love.
Amen.
