A Prayer

AN EASTER PRAYER

Dear Lord,

Protect us from ourselves.
Teach us to be gentle, humble people
who can love and trust our family.
Keep us loyal to each other,
and satisfied with the world you gave us.
Help us to defend your ways
against our leader's desires
before we destroy ourselves
and your beautiful world.

My prayer is "ditto" to your prayer, my friend.
