My Letter To God

Dear God, I need Your strength, Your touch, Your love	
	Your calm, Your quiet. Your peace of a dove.
	Lord, I need to know Your love and presence;
	Your courage. Your wisdom. Your. Your essence!

	Father, I seek Your way and Your abundant life
	In the midst of my weakness, in the center of my strife;
	I crave the excellence and the joy to be found
	When the soul, the body and mind are sound.

	This truly is the day that You have made;
	When all else has failed, Lord, You are staid;
	Help me to remember Your compassion and mercy
	That I might pass it on to someone like me.
