I Pray

As we begin a new year…

“May God bless us still; that the ends of the earth may revere our God.”

                                                                                              Psalm 67:8

I Pray

I pray for peace.

I pray for love — of God; of grace; of you.

I pray for hope. Hope in peace. Hope in love. Hope in You.

I pray for grace; to be grace-full; to love; to share.

To know God.

I pray for you. For your peace. For your love. For your grace.

I pray for us.

For our hearts’ healing.

For our dark fleeing.

For His light dawning.

In you. In me.

I pray for faith. And trust. And courage.

And they come.
