Megan's prayer: Mary Mary's "Be Happy"

I think one of the basic goals in my life is to be happy. For some people, this is a huge struggle, something they may never reach in their life. For others, you can tell that happiness flows freely from them.

I would place myself somewhere between those two extremes, but probably much closer to "happy". So many different things go into my level of happiness that it is hard to pinpoint exactly where I am at any given point.

One of the things that alters my happiness is my faith life. When I'm feeling loved and feel a deep connection with God, I am definitely a happy person! When I struggle with prayer and feel that God isn't listening, it's hard to always keep a smile on my face.

I'm really working hard on getting my faith life back on track. I want that extreme happy feeling back that I get when I know I am loved by God.
