I said a prayer for you today
And know God must have heard.
I felt the answer in my heart,
Although He spoke no word.

I didn’t ask for wealth or fame,

I knew you wouldn’t mind.
I asked Him to send treasures
Of a far more lasting kind.

I asked that He be near you

At the start of each new day
To grant you health and blessings
And friends to share your way.

I asked for happiness for you

In all things, great and small,
But it was for His loving care
I prayed for most of all.

Thank God for Giving Us the Breath of Life

God gives us the breath of life. It is the breath of life from God that supports us throughout our growth
into adulthood. Without the grace and supply of God, we cannot survive. Although we were born
through our parents, they cannot give us life, let alone control our fate. Only God, who breathed His
very life into us and supplies all needs of us, has the way of life and is the source of life for all things.
Without everything that the Creator arranges for us, we will be left with nothing, much less will we
know what course to follow. It is God who rules over and supplies all things. The Creator’s love for
mankind is beyond the expression of words, and moreover, it is beyond the reach of parents’ love. Just
as God says, “Were it not for the Creator’s predestination and His guidance, a life newly born
into this world would not know where to go or where to stay, would have no relations, belong
nowhere, have no real home. But because of the Creator’s meticulous arrangements, it begins the
journey of its life with a place to stay, parents, a place it belongs to, and relatives. Throughout
this process, the advent of this new life is determined by the Creator’s plans, and everything it
will come to possess will be bestowed upon it by the Creator. From a free-floating body with
nothing to its name it gradually becomes a flesh-and-blood, visible, tangible human being, one of
God’s creations, who thinks, breathes, and senses warm and cold, who can participate in all the
usual activities of a created being in the material world, and who will undergo all the things that
a created human being must experience in life. The predetermination of a person’s birth by the
Creator means that He will bestow upon that person all things necessary for survival; and that a
person is born likewise means that he or she will receive all things necessary for survival from the
Creator, that from that point on he or she will live in another form, provided for by the Creator
and subject to the Creator’s sovereignty.”
