I pray for peace passing all understanding, <br />And for healing if it be Thy will. <br />Please send strength where it is needed, <br />In rough waters echo “Peace Be Still! ” <br /> <br />For your children and all who love you, <br />May they now know Who is your Rock. <br />And understand that in each lifespan, <br />We play life’s games against the clock. <br /> <br />May the pain that you are now feeling, <br />Leave scars toughened for whatever comes next, <br />And be thankful that He has promised, <br />To do for each of us what He knows is best! <br /> <br />May our Father Who is always with you, <br />Be evident to all who stand around. <br />Keep your eyes now lifted upward, <br />As our knees bend down on the ground.<br /><br />Robert Edgar Burns<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/these-things-i-pray/
