Praying for one another, <br />For our sister and our brother <br />Is pleasing to Our Blessed Lord <br />As we band together in one accord. <br /> <br />Each situation may be rough; <br />We pray enough strength to be tough, <br />With courage to face another day <br />Let's lift one another as we pray: <br /> <br />Lord, help my brother and sister today. <br /> <br />No matter how often we are asked to pray <br />Give us the compassion of Jesus this day. <br />Help us to emulate you, O Lord, please <br />So we turn not a deaf ear but fall to our knees. <br /> <br />In prayerful petition we pray for our friend <br />Not counting the cost even to the end <br />For it is in service to You we lift one another up <br />Til the saucer fills from the overflowing cup. <br /> <br />Lord, help my brother and sister today. <br />Lord, help my brother and sister today. <br />Lord, help my brother and sister today. <br /> <br />July 31,2006<br /><br />Carmela Patterson<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/lord-help-my-brother-and-sister-today/
