The Prayer of Peace
Lord, make me an instrument of peace,
where there is hatred, let me sow love;
where there is injury, pardon;
where there is doubt, faith;
where there is despair, hope;
where there is darkness, light;
where there is sadness, joy.

I Said a Prayer for YOU Today
I said a prayer for you today
and I know that God must have heard,
I felt the answer in my heart
although he spoke no word.
I didn't ask for wealth or fame-
I knew you wouldn't mind-
I asked Him to send you treasures
of a far more lasting kind.
I asked that He be near you
at the start of each new day,
To grant you health and blessings
and friends to share your way.
I asked for happiness for you
in all things great and small;
But is was for His loving care
I prayed the most of all!

The Difference
I got up early one morning
and rushed right into the day,
I had so much to accomplish
that I didn't have time to pray.
Problems just tumbled about me
and heavier came each task.
"Why doesn't God help me?" I wondered.
He answered, "You didn't ask."
I wanted to see joy and beauty,
but the day toiled on, bray and bleak.
I wondered why God didn't show me;
He said, "But you didn't seek."
I tried to come into God's presence,
I used all the keys at the lock.
God gently and lovingly chided,
"My child, you didn't knock."
I woke up early this morning
and paused before entering the day,
I had so much to accomplish
that I had to take time to pray.
