October 6, 2018, shared April 6, 2020
I spent some time this morning looking back over some of the rhymes I penned in days gone by. Reading them today, they take on a new meaning. The lines I wrote October 6, 2018 are still so true today …
In the hour before sunrise so still and serene
Spending time with the Lord has become my routine.
I pray that our nation finds wisdom and peace,
That divisions and hatred and fighting may cease.
Instead of a world that is driven by greed,
I pray we can focus on others in need.
Instead of out differences pulling apart,
May our actions be driven by love in our heart.
May we reach out to others and stretch out a hand.
May goodness and kindness take root in our land.
May the words that we speak and the actions we take,
Bring about a new spirit to heal and not break.
May our nation return to the values held dear,
Be a light in the darkness and drive out all fear.
Wonderful prayer for our times. God bless!
