Father God,

I know that you planned on creating me and then you just brought me into being.  You know everything about me, Lord.  You know what I think about myself.  You know how I feel about everything.  Please God, show me my purpose.  Help me to see me as you see me.  I just want to be your good and faithful servant.  Thank you for giving me life.
