Dear Lord, in a world that is filled with such uncertainty and empty promises, where things change from one day to the next,  from one hour to the next, You alone are reliable.  You alone are unchanging and always present. We can always count on You.  You are good, all the time. You never leave us on our own.  Help me to see that.  Help me to truly believe in Your presence in my life and no longer feel your absence.  Help me to stop trying to change You and instead start trying to change me.  Help me to look to You, not as a last resort, but as my first choice, in all things.  Please teach me how to pray to You.  Show me what it is that I need to change first, what I need to change most.  Help me to start where You want me to.  Please help me to change my own behavior so that I may live as You desire.  Help me to be less concerned with the changes others are making, or not making, in their lives and simply do my best to improve my own.  Dear Lord, help me not to fear change because I know that no matter what happens, You will always be there with me.  Amen.
