My attitude and feelings

[Anonymous]

I know I need to be more grateful, it's just today really got to me. Once again my parents focused almost entirely on extremely practical gifts that I would barely use, some of which I didn't even want or need. I feel really misunderstood and unloved, even though I know my parents do love me. It's like this a lot, but I was hoping today would be different. I wish people would care more about my heart, and give things that are more meaningful to me. It's not like I'm wanting really pricy gifts. I just wish they would give things I could use and enjoy more, and show that they see and care about my interests and feelings.

And to top it off, my Mom asked me to read the card she got from my Dad. I told her it would depress me but she wanted me to read it anyway in hopes that it would "encourage" me to find a guy like that to one day marry. I'm not dating anyone right now, though I really want to date and get married sometime soon, so it was just rubbing salt into the wound. 

Please pray that God would help me with my attitude and feelings. I feel stupid for getting so worked up over things like this, but it still is painful for me. Pray that God would cheer me up, fill me up with His love, help me to be more grateful, and bring a guy into my life who cares more about being meaningful than just being practical and giving me what they would want.

Trust in the unfailing love of the Lord, and in His promises.

Give Him this day and everything that it holds.

Walk in His goodness, knowing that His gentle hand will guide you and keep you.

I pray that the Lord hears your prayer requests and answers them according to His will.

In the Name of Jesus Christ I pray. Amen
