Dearest Dad,

I know you can hear me as I type

My heart is so heavy right now as I think about YOU and your coming

I look forward to seeing you but there are so much to be done

Souls be won

Lives be changed

Help me to stay committed to this cause of soul winning

Raise men for the Gospel

Help me to do the work of an evangelist as you have commanded in your word

I know you know I love you

I know sometimes my behavior doesn’t show that love I have have you

The sincere truth is, I sincerely love you

From the depth of my being and my heart

Pants for you each and every day

And I have dropped this life of mine at the foot of the cross

My desire each and every day is to live my life according to your will, way, and pattern

Please I ask that you prepare me for this day that you will come to take us

Whatever help you can offer this girl, please Sir do for me

Anything that I’m asking you to give me that will hinder me, please I don’t want again

Any behavior in my life that will hinder, work on again

Don’t mind my emotions

Don’t mind my tears

Do all that you want

I give you full permission

Help me to seek you till I attain the fullness of the stature of Christ

Help me, Dad

Help my soul

Help me to have sense

Bless me with wisdom

Help me to sit with your word daily in deep study and understanding

Help me to spend more time in the place of prayer

Put me within believers that will help me

Don’t let me get to a point where I feel I have gone too far and cannot cone back

If I ever say I’m not doing again, please Sir don’t answer me

Things must have hit me hard to make me utter such statement

At those point, grant me strength

I’m forever in this business of loving and serving you forever

One more thing Dad, satisfy me early

I want to see those prophecies you told me about come to fulfillment

Sometimes, I get tired from waiting

Sometimes, I feel you are far away

Sometimes, I don’t seem to hear you

Sometimes, I lose strength and break down

Sometimes, I get distracted

Dad, satisfy me early

Don’t let the Devil use this as a medium of distraction from my main focus which is YOU

In the midst of this request, I have surrendered my will to YOUR WILL

If waiting is all that I ever do, so be it

I have chosen to take up my cross and follow you

I have chosen to stay on this path of righteousness

Dad, whether you bless me or not, I’ll keep loving you

My love for you is not based on what you do or what you do not do

I love you regardless of all those things

All that matters to me is I live for you

Until you come Jesus, keep me in your love continually

This day, I promise to be a true soldier

And at my post you will find me

Bless everyone reading this and prepare them too as you come to take us

I love you, Dad.

From Your Beloved Daughter,
Adefunke.
