Thank You Letter to the Savior

Dear God,

I first of all want to thank you for sending Your Son to die on the cross for us, because without His sacrifice we would still be in the darkness of our sins. I know that this burden of sin weighed much on Him, because the night before His crucifixion; He cried sweat drops of blood at the thought of what was about to take place. This was His prayer, Abba, Father, all things are possible unto Thee; take away this cup from me: nevertheless not what I will, but what Thou wilt.(Mark 14:36) Jesus, You knew what You had to do in order to pay sin's debt, and You did it willingly. You are the Risen King and Almighty God.

Sincerely,
Wade Jinright

Why Do We Only Come To Visit Once in a While?

Dear God,

Why do we only come into Your House only on holidays? We cannot grow as Your children, if we are not constantly in Your light. Your Word feeds the soul, and show us how to live a godly life. Many people only come when they feel like it, and we know that is not much for most of them. I am one of those that feels bad, if I miss going to church, and I will be glad when I am able to get into Your House more often, because I know that I need it.
Lord, thank you for being able to fellowship with You at home and at church.

Sincerely,
Wade Jinright

A Long Week

Dear God,

There is much to do this week, and we are all starting off with an energy deficit. I know that in any situation that You are the one that holds us up and carries us through. I pray that You will give us all an extra measure of strength for this week. For those abroad that have a busy week ahead of them, I ask for the same measure of strength, especially those people in Japan. You did show how powerful creation was, and that at any moment something like that can happen to anybody. I will not forget the power that You possess.

Sincerely,
Wade Jinright

Thank You Letter

Dear God,

Thank You Lord for what You have accomplished this week. I know that this helps to teach me patience, and it has done just that. I never imagined what You would have for me to do in the Navy, but I am grateful for what You have seen fit to do. I look forward to the things that You will do in the coming months.

Lord, give me strength to prepare my body for basic training, and give my family the peace that passes all understanding.

Sincerely,
Wade Jinright

What Can I Do While I Wait?

Dear God,

Instead of being worried about when it is going to happen; I am more worried about what can I be doing in the mean time. Many people would get overwhelmed by the uncertainty of something like what I am encountering while I am trying to get into the Navy to serve my country. I know that You are making me to stand still right now, and I am completely willing to do so until You tell me to move forward. It is the test of patience that I have been through so many times before. It is through faith that brings about patience. Your work and will are perfect and will be till completion. Thank You for Your faithfulness.

Sincerely,
Wade Jinright
