All That I Can Offer

All that I can offer, are my prayers, and my tears, For comfort, and healing... Oh surely, God hears. This blood-stained sphere in heaven's view Behold, one day.... He'll make all things new. A new dawn, One day, War will cease He'll reign as King, there will be peace. For now, I bid Thee, Father of all Draw nigh with healing, To those who call Upon Your mercy, With hearts that break, We pray for peace For goodness' sake. Tabernacle in my heart, I've not but tears and prayers... My part..... Please lift our prayers, Within Your Hands We pray Your Peace Upon Your Lands Amen

In Jesus’ name, Amen. I most deeply agree. This poem prayer is truly powerful. We may not be alive when it is answered, but we wait and offer in service to Him & our fellowmen/women. I pray too Our Lord be blessed & comforted as i think surely we make Him weep…take care xoxo sally

So nice to see someone who actually appreciates the Bible. There are some Bible haters here. Have a great day!

Revelation 21 is a blessing! I've read Revelation in the past, it scared the heck out of me, and I would lie to say I understand it, I don't. All I know for certain? I want my name to be in the Lamb's Book of Life! It is a very scary book of the Bible to read, it brought me to faith in Jesus. I wrote a poem about it 'Child of the King' I have heard it taught through in it's entirety at my old church many times in the past. The verse you shared however is pure peace, hope! Its like a shining rope of pure peace and joy, and I love it so much! Thank you again :)

Thank you, Tom. I read the entire Chapter of Psalm 46, it is so comforting. Thank you so much! I've begun to read Revelation 21 but paused to reply to you. I just want to thank you. God bless you. I appreciate your comment so much. It is like balm, for it is the Word of God. <3

Thank you, BJ for sharing these beautiful words of prayer with us. Our world is in pain, and many are suffering the hell of war. Sometimes all we can do is acknowledge God of Creator and plead for blessings and healing. a FAV for my list BJ. Smiles ~ Blessings Bill

Yes Bill, I need prayer as well. I cannot understand cruel wicked war, I hate it so much. I know in the Book of Revelation it says there will be such things, till the end. I wish God would hurry, no disrespect intended toward Him, I just wish He would intercede, quickly! This world has always suffered such violence and horror. Sorry, I feel the horrors so deeply. Please keep praying for True Peace to come! <3

It is so sad to see my friend.. its always the innocent people who suffer.. so many children will die... one wrong does not make a right... i hurts.. you expressed it beautifully.. blessings my friend.

It's devastating. Children, babies, grandparents, and innocent young people simply enjoying a peaceful Holiday suddenly under attack, the worst nightmare. How shocked and horrified to lose family like that, I can't even imagine. Dying horrifically, unexpectedly, and then to think of the atrocities the victims of kidnappings are enduring ...I just can't stand it. Many will die and already have on both sides, babies, parents, children. It's so tragic. I am trying to hold onto hope in prayer, I'm reeling by the atrocities inflicted on the innocent civilians, war is bad enough soldier to soldier, but such as this. I am remembering Hitler :( Many innocent Jews, and many, many more died under his horrendous acts of murder. Will this earth ever know peace? Actually, I guess it will, it is prophesied, so I hope in that. Thank you for your visit and comment Silent One. You're right, it hurts, so deeply.
