A Prayer for You and Me

by pierre poote'

Competition Contest Winner 
Candles flicker in stained glass windows                  
Bouncing shadows on a marbled floor                 
Crystal glass and mahogany wood                      
Dress the voyeur of an ancient church,                 
Towering Cross stretched to the heavens           
Polished in glowing Purple Heart wood,               
I kneel on a red velvet cushion                                
Eyes bowed, hands clasped in blessed silence 

 
 “I pray you have peace, joy, happiness,             
Prosperity, good will and good health               
I pray you know Jesus Christ                        
Filling you with the Holy Spirit                                  
I hope light consumes and darkness fades          
I pray God fills your life with love       
May God grant you wisdom and courage            
To overcome life’s difficulties                                   
May God protect you and surround you                 
With angels of love and compassion                  
I pray these things in Jesus Christ Name”  

         
 I lift my eyes and extend my arms                         
With teary eyes and a heavy heart                     
I beg You God on this very day                                  
Free my mind from this deadly burden                    
Oh Lord, hear this prayer I bring to you

                
  “I pray to You in Jesus Christ Name                      
Remove from me this deep resentment              
Take it from me, fill my heart with love                        
Thank you Holy Heavenly Father “  

                    
 I rise to leave yet another day                      
Anger and frustration slowly fades                
All the many days I’ve prayed for you                    
Bring peace and serenity to me                    
Forgiveness and acceptance of all,   
My resentments seem to melt away,           
No longer separated from God                     
I find that I truly care for you
