Aw Maurice you have such a big heart. There is power in praying, but I believe there is more power in doing, working harder, because lip service only does so much, your words are as helpful as your heart, but your hands get the job done. You are a such a wonderful man, and I am please to be your friend. Thank you for being terrific :)

So so beautiful this prayer.There is nothing that make us happier than when We pray for others'needs instead of for our needs,and nothing more awesome of when We are grateful for what God did with us.Not selfish at all.Lovely prayer .

gosh, wasn't there a contest about this topic that closed out a while back? Or is this that new contest about God? In any event, you showed the superb way to pray, not asking for oneself, but for others. The biggest dilemma I think is what you addressed with praying for the innocent children starving or in war zones. I think that is the most difficult thing in the world for us to understand. May we all be led to know what we can do in such situations. Let me see your other poem now.

However I should specify the contest was already judged and over.

You got it. One spot opened up so I wrote this in the time it takes to type it and squeezed it in. I was checking contests saw it and pounced on it.

A perfect prayer - thinking of others before your own needs Maurice - I do hope God listens :-) Hugs Jan xx
