My Prayer For Peace

Dear God, I ask You humbly;
To Listen to my plea.
I am going to ask a favor;
Which is nothing new for me.

But, this time I am begging;
And ask you from my heart.
Please guide all those involed;
As upon this war, we embark.

It has touched on all of us;
In one way or another
For we all know someone over there,
A sister or a brother.

Guide them all and keep them strong;
Please stand with them as they fight.
For they are doing what must be done;
To keep us safe, by day and night..

Keep a gentle hand on them;
Wherever they go or have been.
And bring them safely home to us;
So we will be together again.

Thank you God, for listening;
As I know you always do.
And I know that You will always be here;
Even after this war is through!

Amen
