Positive Thoughts In Negative Times

As the sun rises on this day I kneel down and begin to pray As sadness and pain take their toll When my world seems so out of control This is my prayer… Lord, I ask you for your hand I ask you for your love so grand To guide me as I go day by day Help me Lord to find my way Back on my path going straight ahead While unanswered questions surround my head. It’s you I turn to for answers I can’t find When my heart, soul and head are in a bind Show me the way you want me to go Fill me with the knowledge I need to grow Because your love is my eternal flame I ask you this in your holy name Amen. I stand to my feet and start my day Light in heart and without dismay With the knowledge and belief That those in pain will find relief And forgive all who do not know That with negativity you cannot grow. With the mindset that what is will be I prayed this prayer for you and me. And as this day turns into night I see a fuller and brighter light As I lay down in my bed Positive thoughts and dreams surround my head Sadness and pain for now are gone Allowing me to move up and on So the next day I come to face I know where I stand I know my place To know and to understand helps us shine When we keep positive thoughts in negative times. 2/9/11
