My Christmas prayer

I pray for peace and the people in need.

                        

        My Christmas prayer

Thank you Lord of life and death. I had a safe and wonderful year. My children are near and grandchildren laughter overtake my home often. I have good heath and the family is healthy. I'm very thankful.

I need nothing lord. My prayers are not for me. My prayers are for my friends at work. Please heal them. Take their pain away. Please send the blessings of healing to them. Give them many years to dance and sing with their grandchildren. Please heal the husband who need strength and help the poor wife who stand with him. My wish is for many good days for him. Please lord. Send the gift of healing to the people in  need.

Please lord of life and death. Please teach the words of Jesus to the world leaders. Forgiveness, concern and kindness. Please stop the wars. Please help the people in the way of the war machine. Please Lord. Send the gentle touch of needed love, concern, food and shelter to the needy.

Please Lord. Keep the our soldiers safe.  Please stop the war. Let's us learn. Every child had value. Every person had value. Please send wisdom to the leaders of our world. Too much blood had been spilled for the sound of hate. Today we need to hear and share the song of peace.

Please Lord. I'm okay and please send your Angels to heal the pain of the cancer and deep wounds.

Coyote,
Thanks for taking the temperature of those around you. The world is so full of need and many times in ourselves. I think sometimes some of our unhappiness is in feeling powerless in this world. So much is out of our immediate control except through prayer..........................Bless you sir! Kathy

Not selfish prayer for whole world and your loved ones. Very clear style of writing. Very easy reading to me.

Thank you dear Poet. I appreciate the kind words. We need more prayers for peace. More leaders who think before they speak.

[Nadia Gerassimenko]

Those are very heartwarming and compassionate wishes. Thank you for speaking such words of wisdom. When we have everything, it's time we give back to those in need whether through actions or prayers.

[Coyote Poetry]

I agree Nadia. Need more concern and prayer and thank you for reading and the kine words.

What a lifting, beautiful call to peace, a prayer to transform this world of shadows into a warm place of light. I want so much to see this too. The world needs it so badly.

[Coyote Poetry]

I agree my friend. I wish for the old ways. Lead with concern and kindness.

Merry Christmas, Coyote...

Yes, hopefully peace will come---Love Melanie...i have so many of her albums and CD's---one of my favorites.

as well, love the theme of this poem...to give to others during this season rather than thinking of what we want....feeling like we have what we need if we have family and health...

beautiful poem.

I love Melanie too and I hope you are having a Merry Christmas my friend.

[jacob erin-cilberto]

same to you, my friend!

yes, favorite Melanie albums..."Gather Me" and "Stoneground Words"---love her voice and her poetic words---she is the ultimate flower child of song.

[Coyote Poetry]

I try to find Cd. I will have to order one on line.

[jacob erin-cilberto]

yes, they are both available from amazon...took many years for "Stoneground words" to be put on CD...but finally...

[Coyote Poetry]

Thank you for the information. I do appreciate.

Merry Christmas Coyote! Great prayer!

[Coyote Poetry]

Thank you AE. I appreciate the comment.

For me I think of the homeless and the untreated war vets. Children should not be drug into their family's woes. Valentine

[Coyote Poetry]

I agree. So much suffering and the world need more kindness and concern. Thank you for reading and the comment.

[Relic]

You reflect the thoughts of many whose heart is as warm and caring as yours is Coyote. As we get older, we appreciate good health much more than in our youth.

Lets hope that someday people in power will see the futility of wars and groups like Isis and others will no longer exist.

This is an excellent prayer my friend.

[Coyote Poetry]

Thank you my friend. I pray we seek peace over war.

[Tony Jordan]

Merry Christmas to you and yours Coyote.

[Coyote Poetry]

Thank you Tony. I pray for better days.
