OUR CIRCLE OF PRAYER

This poem (prayer) was inspired by my high school friends on our chat line. Each brings their prayer requests to the group. Some have children battling cancer; others have health or financial issues. I envision this being said, while all hold hands, as grace at family gatherings, etc.

OUR CIRCLE OF PRAYER

As we all join hands in our circle of prayer
We find great strength in the love that we share
Friends through the years we support one another
And each has become like a sister or brother
Our dear friends are more precious as we grow old
Hand in hand we journey down life’s troubled road
Through perilous nights and stormy weather
We’ll embrace the bright dawns, as we all stick together
Past the rough times we’ll see our way through
And we’re never alone because He’s with us too
And so the best way for this prayer to end
Is in Jesus’ name
AMEN
