Today’s prayer proved surprisingly difficult to put into words. I’ve been slowly working on it over the last couple of weeks.
God loved the world so much that he gave his one and only Son, so that everyone who believes in him will not perish but have eternal life (John 3:16; NLT).
I pray that your great love for all
Will reign in every life, Lord God,
But if we won’t receive your love
Please send us peace, instead.
I ask that your eternal peace
Will dwell in every mind, Lord God,
But if we don’t accept your peace
Please teach us truth, instead.
I beg that your enduring truth
Will rule in every heart, Lord God,
But if we can’t believe your truth
Please grant us light, instead.
I plead that your unceasing light
Will shine in every soul, Lord God,
But if we don’t perceive your light
Please give us hope, instead.
The Scriptures give us hope and encouragement as we wait patiently for God’s promises to be fulfilled (Romans 15:4; NLT).
Love, peace and truth are constant In my thoughts and prayers of late, mostly because of the lack of it in the world today.
Pace e bene
Me too, George. Let’s just keep on praying XXXXXX
