Darkest Hour - My Prayer For Tonight

Now I lay me down to rest. I pray the world to give their best. The best of Man, in the worst of times. Our Poets can help with peaceful rhymes. This valley of shadows we now shall trod. Lead us please, oh Lord our God. Give strength to the weak, and wisdom to the strong. Show our leaders the knowledge, to know right from wrong. I humbly pray on this sunny day. Strike down this illness and lead our way. With all of your love and absolute power. Please hear this prayer, in our darkest hour.

A very encouraging prayer, Mark. I love the attitude of humility and hope, along with the encouragement of poets to be part of the solution in bringing peace and comfort to a dark time.

Mark, wonderful poem, yes, like a prayer, we are in dark and difficult times and it is now that our faith is being tested, God will never let go of your hand, have faith in that, he will protect you under his wings, he has told his angels to watch over you _Constance
