A Prayerful Sunday

Always ask for the building up of your faith daily as you begin your day with prayer. (BYDWP) If you happen to be going through something that is distasteful or unpleasant, don't despair. Instead, remember that nothing last forever, not even trouble. This trouble, too, shall pass.

A Prayerful Sunday

Today is the Lord's Day

And I know what I am going to do

I am going to attend worship and pray

And praise and thank Him for all

That He has brought me through.

And while I am there, I am going

To pray for our leaders and for our country, too

And pray hard for world peace

And for all of the war talk rhetoric to cease.

Going to pray that hate be harnessed

And that the seeds of love be released

And carried far and wide

To take root in the soil of human souls

So that malice, envy, strife, and hatred

No longer exist to give birth to cruelty

Mass killings and such like

Gonna pray that this world's leaders

Be given a ride on the rails of peace

And that they are no longer governed by nationalistic pride

But governed, instead, by love for all humanity

For which the Savior died.

And one last thing, I'm sharing this prayer with you

In hopes that you will join hands with me

As we collectively knock on heaven's doors

And push our urgent but humble prayer through.

"Father, heal our nation and heal our land

Because You are faithful, Father, and we know that You can."
