Dear Lord, thank you for creating the world and everything in it.

Thank you for creating me, too! You showed me your love by creating everything that I need to grow big and strong. When I think about how big and awesome the planets are, I pray that I will remember how You created them just for your most precious creation, ME! In Jesus’ name, Amen.
