‘Just because’ prayers

Jenny Sinatra

Have you ever told someone in your family that you love them? Not because you want Dad to scoop you out some more ice cream, or because you want Mom to like you more than she likes your little brother. You say, “I love you,” just because you feel it and you want the people you love to know. You feel happy and grateful, and you want to show it.

Have you ever prayed to God “just because”?

What I mean is, Have you ever prayed just because you love God and you want to say: “I love You, God. Thank You for loving me!”
