A Prayer For Mankind
Written by Janie Mathis

Oh Lord!
I lift them up to you!
The people of this world:
In the dark
In the light
In the place between
Turn the night into day
Shining Son, burning bright
Remove the veil, to reveal
That which can't be seen

Janie; you certainly are a wonderful poet, this is lovely. ellie

Summers haunting melody
that awakens
the butterflies,
calling them to join
the dance
in their silent song
of praise to God.

If only all of us would offer up the same prayer. . .

Excellent. . .

Thanks to all for reading and responding. This did actually emerge from a prayer one day last week but the poetic qualities of it stuck with me and I decided to write it down. I still feel the power of this prayer as I re-read it.

These simple prayers of faith are the ones that move the Heavens and the Heart of God... Please, keep praying just like this and I know that there still remains hope for humanity.
