Dear God,

I really don't know what to say to you. I haven't talked to you using my prayer journal in a long time. I actually haven't talked to you much at all lately. I have been trying to rely a lot on myself lately and no one else and I have seen that it doesn't really work out the greatest. I came really close to a mental breakdown several times just because I was trying to take on too much. God, I realize that I need you but there is still a part of me that is holding back. There is still a part of me that wants to be independant. God, help me. Continue to show me the way. Continue to put yourself on my heart. Things like reading the bible. I can really see you through that. I don't understand why I felt compelled to read the bible when I really didn't want to other than that it was you. God, just help me get through this. I thank you for helping me with so much so far and just continue to be there. Help me get through this week. Thank you God.
