Dear Lord of all Creation, <br />as we go out today to greet <br />your new glorious day, <br />we may be surrounded by enemies. <br />Let us stand tall and face them, <br />with a smile of friendship on our face, <br />and not with the contempt <br />that is so visible in their eyes, <br />and as we walk towards them, <br />protect us with your gown of faith <br />we wear for all to see. <br />Let them see we mean no harm, <br />and that we are not meek. <br />Let them see our outstretched hands, <br />in friendship, not war. <br />Oh, Lord give us the strength <br />to do this not only today, <br />but every day in our journey, <br />from the cradle to the grave. <br />Amen<br /><br />David Harris<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/a-sunday-prayer-05/
