Prayer For Today

Dear lord in heaven hear me I pray
Thank you for the blessing of this beautiful day
I know in your heart lord you wish only peace
I pray man will hear you and hatred will cease.

 You feel betrayed lord Man did not heed your word
You spoke of love but man never heard 
Today we worship riches, Diamonds and gold
For the price of a dollar our souls have been sold.

We make bullets and bombs lord to help us make war
Spread terror and hatred,Refusing to follow your law
For all of our sins lord I pray you will forgive 
Help us to stop fighting and dying , Teach us to live.

Teach us compassion , Teach us to care 
To look after each other in this world we share
Then as we learn lord please walk by our side
Help us to look after the living things you provide.

Mother nature is awesome full of beauty and grace 
Teach us to respect her and put a smile on her face
This is my prayer lord, Thank you for listening to me
Forever in your light I will walk happily.
Amen
