Todays Prayer

Today’s prayer 8/8/2019 Tom Lord, This prayer is for the haters, Intent on having their say Convict their hearts In a special way For the sinister, Who take pleasure in taking a life Earlier this week it was a gun, This morning it was a knife And for those who feel the need to “race bait” today Let them get their attention in some other way Lift their thoughts above, Cause them to see you Give each a desire, to speak Of things which are true Remember life’s downtrodden Let me never forget And for political annoyances Which we’re beset For our Country’s future Which sometimes looks bleak But primarily Lord, Today, cause our leaders to think Before they speak Amen

A wonderful, much-needed prayer, Tom. Let us improve ourselves, and lift up this nation one person, one family at a time. Thank you. Best wishes, Gershon
