Now I lay me down to sleep.
I pray Dear Lord, their souls You keep.
Help them see the truth in time.
Make them repent.
Don't leave them behind.

It's terrible Lord,
what might happen to them.
They are consumed by satan.
They won't turn from their sins.

Send someone to them Lord,
that they may see Your light.
Show them Father.
Make them get rid of their strife.

I have tried to help.
I have failed every time.
Help me understand,
the battle is Yours.
The battle is not mine.

Please give them another chance Lord.
Give them time to repent.
This is my prayer to You Father.
Thank You for listening.
I love You.
AMEN.

A beautifully written plea, Stacy.  This sure hits home with me as for some time I felt it was my responsibility to help those who didn't yet understand, especially family.  We can only plant the seed, pray for them and live a Chirst-like life.  If others see the peace and love in our hearts, perhaps they'll be motivated.  Thanks for sharing.

Thanks Rae! I accepted Jesus when I was 22 or 23 years of age! Before that I was raised Jewish! When I accepted Jesus, I was terrified to tell my dad! He always told me if I ever walked away from my Jewish heritage that he would disown me! Well i'm proud to say, he didn't disown me, but he still won't listen to The Truth! He says he respects me and I should respect him! I have tried for years to lead my dad to Jesus, but he just won't listen! I guess all I can do is pray and leave him and his family in The Lords Hands, and pray one day they will change their minds and accept Him before it's too late!
God bless you Rae! It's so nice having someone to talk to about things like this.
