A Prayer In Earnest ![]() Albrecht Durer's "The Praying Hands" I have no extra special words no fancy tribute shall I write rather I’ll say a prayer of thanks for the men and women that still fight. When I am praying this prayer I’ll ask for all terrorism to cease and for help to stop the madness with a special request for world peace. I’ll ask the Lord to gently hold us with his tender loving hands and to lead us with his wisdom that we all might love our fellow man. A prayer, that they not be forgotten the unsung heroes who gave their all those who were among the innocent or defending us, that we might not fall. Please bless the families left behind my prayer, Lord please help them understand let them know their loved ones are remembered and that they are now held in Angels hands. I’ll then pray for everyone to join the circle the circle of peace that encompasses all and this prayer, I’ll pray in earnest Lord please guide us when upon your name we call. © dmsmith 09-06-02 May God hold America in his hands. Thank you Karilea, for the "graphics inspire" [This message has been edited by Gentle Spirit (09-08-2002 10:16 PM).] |

Donna, what you've done here was within you all the time. May we all join hands, whether in reality, or virtually through cyberspace, and be a Nation again. |

A lovely blessing, Donna... That was a totally horrible time, but I am so grateful that my son, Victor....who was supposed to have been at a meeting at Cantor Fitzgerald at the World Trade Center that morning, got a phone call the afternoon before... telling him that he didn't need to be there... It must have been an angel who made that call. ![]() Lyra |

Beautiful. I think prayers are much more helpful than shouts of anger today. |
