Dear Lord - a Prayer For Robert Lindley

Can I ask you dear Lord, only if you have the time?
Our world leaders need some help, they are in quite a bind
Could you throw down a blessing in hopes they will see?
Please help them look in their hearts and guide the powers that be
In sixty-one days, election time will be here
Could you help guide our voters with a message that’s clear?
Can you comfort the dying from age and disease?
I give you my life, to do with what you please
I also pray for the poet, may your holy spirit fill their soul
Give them beautiful lines so they can help to console
Provide strength for the weak in their hour of need
Thank you for your love and your life-giving seed 
I have just one more, if it’s not too much to ask
Could you help Robert Lindley, if you’re up for the task?
He has a weak heart and his wife is quite ill
Maybe you could heal them both, they have a child at home still

Your prayer has been heard by God. He will surely help them. He always does. Because he is the one who always care, for he loves us.
