THE GOD BOX

Dear God,

As you know, my friend Anne Ryan has a "God Box".

When one of her seven children, or their spouses
or their children, or one of her multitude of friends,
has a special prayer intention, Anne will jot a request to You and put it in the Box.

Anne, who is "not the last to take up the new,"
no longer uses a physical box, but instead records the requests and her own intentions electronically
on her computer.

Please, dear God, favor all of Anne's requests,
and favor too, those requests
which I put on my own "God Box" list
of prayer intentions below.

Anne and I know that You may not answer every prayer,
or at least not in just the way we wish for.
But you are the Father Who knows what is best for us
in the long run better than we know ourselves,
so we will gratefully accept your decisions.

All this I pray to You, dear God of gifts,
and graces, and answered prayers.

Amen.
