MOST PRECIOUS HEAVENLY FATHER

Something I wrote from October, 2005

Most Precious Heavenly Father,

As I ponder different events and circumstances of late,

I come to you now with requests to make.

Father, if it be Thy will,

Peace inside us all instill?

Can you help us understand regardless the cost,

We need to fervently reach out to those who are lost?

Can you give us the words best to say,

When someone we know has had a bad day?

Can you help us turn words of profanity in ways,

That instead become words of endless praise?

Can you help us turn against violent rage,

Bring freedom to those who feel locked in a cage?

Can the world as we know it, every nation,

Remember our roots are by your creation?

Can we harvest the energies of turbulent storms,

And share the seeds from which love and faith are formed?

Can we bring rest to those who are worn and weary,

Can you help us help them to see things more clearly?

The strengths of your mercy and grace are magnificent,

Help them to understand you love is all sufficient?

Help us Precious Lord to...

Bring hope to the discouraged, beaten down soul.

Bring comfort to those who are hurting, young and old.

Help us be a candle burning brightly to show others the way,

That all things become possible when they begin to pray.

Help us demonstrate that your love does not cease,

Help us share with others your abounding and everlasting peace.

Help us teach others Lord, the promise you made,

Through Jesus' death on the cross, our debts have been paid.

Dear Heavenly Father, thank you for listening to my requests,

With Jesus beside me I have been so blessed.

Please bless and keep my loved ones near,

Family, friends and other ones here.

AMEN

To His Glory,

Annette Monts Falls
