A Prayer For You and Me
I have been meaning to pen down this prayer since last year but will all the excuses I have up my sleeve, I failed to do so. This morning while on board the train on my way to work, I put back my phone inside my bag and took the notebook and pen that I brought along with me and finally penned it down.
Here it is, a prayer for you and me...
DEAR GOD,
I PRAY THAT...
I don't need to see a beggar digging for a food in a rubbish bin
to be grateful to You for the food I eat
I don't need to see a homeless person
to be grateful to You for giving me a roof above my head
I don't need to get sick first
to be grateful to You when I am in the pink of health
I don't need to see a child struggling from an illness
to be grateful to You for my healthy children
I don't need to see a blind man
to be grateful to You for my healthy pair of eyes
I don't need to suffer from haze
to be grateful to You for the gift of fresh air
I don't need to experience blackout
to be grateful to You for the gift of light
I don't need to see a person on a wheelchair
to be grateful to You that I can walk unassisted and able to go anywhere
I don't need see a jobless person struggling
to be grateful to You for providing me a source of income
I ask these in Jesus name,
AMEN

ReplyDeleteI always thanked God for this day,
I thanked Him for all the blessings He has given us.
For always guiding and protecting Us and for keeping us safe and unharmed.
I thanked Him for taking care of my parents and keeping them healthy.
I pray for peace of mind,
to put out all of my worries and anxiety.
and be more humble and less cynic.
But mostly, I do pray for people who are in dire need of help.
May they hear His voice and trust in Him always,
I pray that homeless people will find shelter especially that winter is very brutally bone chilling old here in Western New York in Jesus name Amen.
