PRAYER FOR OUR MILITARY

October 21, 2009

Many people, including myself, know someone fighting over seas. I pray everyday for their safety and speedy return home.  The following poem is a prayer written by my aunt. Thank you, Wanda, for bringing these words to life.

PRAYER FOR OUR MILITARY

Dear God, I place in Your strong hands

All those who serve in foreign lands.

Keep them safe in all they do

Let them know to rely on You.

In every danger they must face

Show Your presence in that place.

When they, at times, feel lost, alone,

Then show them You are still the One

Who always will be at their side

When they, in faith, with You abide.

Show that Your love and care extends

To all at home, their family; friends

Strengthen them to do Your will

Each day, each place, each job they fill.

Bring them safely home at last

Away from terror’s bombs and blasts.

Let us give thanks for what they’ve done

To keep us safe; our freedom won.

WRAPPED IN JESUS ARMS

August 1, 2008

Sometimes the words of other people express my feelings better then I can. The following poem, written by my aunt, hit a chord deep inside my heart.  I want to share it with you.  I hope you will also be touched.

WRAPPED IN JESUS ARMS

 Be wrapped in Jesus arms this week.

 Let all you find be what you seek.

 Let angels guard you where you walk

 And fill with love your every talk.

 Let not your heart with stress be filled

 Let every worried thought be stilled.

 Each day, remember by your side

 Jesus is there to guard and guide.

 God’s love and mine to you is sent.

So may, this week, you be content.
