Dear Father in Heaven,
 
I sit here at my computer, concentrating on what I am doing, when I hear a familiar leap from the wooden chest in our dining room. Our dog, Lady, has spied her friend Tubby (aka Flash) outside. She runs to me with a soft little whine. Her message is clear to me as she does her little dance, leading me to the door. She wants to go outside this morning for a romp with the neighbor's dog.
 
I know what she wants and I give it to her. I open the door of our kitchen and she joyfully runs through it to the out-of-doors.
 
Father, sometimes my prayers aren't very eloquent. Sometimes the thoughts and words are about as clear as Lady's whine. But because You know my heart and my thoughts, You honor my simple communication.
 
Thank You that You give me what I need and want, because You know the desires of my heart and mind. Thank You for opening doors for me and allowing me to run out into the world to enjoy some of the people and places You have set aside for me. Thank You for caring for me, even better than I can care for myself, Amen.
