My Prayer

Please Father, heal me from my sickness,
Forgive me for my sins,
Whisper the words, “I love you”,
In my ear once again.
	Forgive me of my wrongdoings,
As I forgive those who hurt me,
And thank-You dear God,
For rising on day three.
	Heal those who are sick,
Fix those who are hurt,
Give clothes to those,
That don’t even have a shirt.
	Give rest to the tired,
Help those who are weary,
Bless those who need it,
Give sight to those who can’t see.
	Give shoes to the shoeless,
Help all the teachers,
When You close a few windows,
Open a few doors.
	Guide the President,
Help him make right choices,
Help the silent,
Raise up their voices.
Help those close to me,
And those far away,
Answer their prayers,
Hear what they don’t say.
	Be there for the weak,
And be there for the strong,
Help us all know,
When we do something wrong.
	Thank-You for listening,
And for always being there,
But I thank You most of all, Lord,
For hearing my prayer.
