A New Prayer

Hello lord, look into my eyes; see my sincerity.
Feel my heart warming for only just thee.

I have no prayers for myself; I have been blessed.
My prayer of asking is for those so obsessed.

Show them from inside, they are worth it all.
Tell them in their mind, stand brave and tall.

My other prayer is for you Lord; you are forever.
Belonging to all of heaven and earth’s endeavor,

I know your spirit continues until end of time.
Take all that default you make them sublime

Cecil, to pray for one's self is a worthy cause, but to pray for another is a sign of great compassion. I love the way you convey your things here! Best wishes, Carolyn

Good thing about this prayer is that God definitely knows the sincerity of your heart. Any prayer made to Him in truth is heard.
