O' sweet Jesus,
please comfort me
in my hour of need.
Lay Your hand upon
my fevered brow
and ease the pains
of my heart and soul.
Give of Your strength
so that I shall not crumble
as did the Walls of Jericho.
Hold me in Your loving embrace
so that I might rest in peace.
Shine Your Light before me
to guide me to Heaven's Gate.
Surround me with
a choir of angels to
lift my spirit high.
Quench this thirst from Thy
infinite well of love.
Quell the river
of fear and sorrow
that permeates my being.
Beam Your smile into
the very core of me.
Bless me, sweet Jesus.
Bless You, beloved Son of God.
Amen.
+*+*+

Linda...a beautiful prayer for Michael.  He woke me this morning with a phone call and a strong voice.

Martie, hallelujah! There is not a day that goes by that I am not thinking of our beloved Michael, sending prayers up to God's Ear on his behalf, and sending him some distant healing.

Thank you for responding to my poem. Your news has put sunshine into my day. Send him my love ~ and keep some for yourself!

Loving hugs to both of you!
Linda

I couldn't help but notice that in addition to the lovely prayer, Linda, the poem is in the shape of a fish.....a little miracle there.   ....jo

That is rather curious, isn't it! I have heard that mentioned before!
Fish
Jesus loves you! ~ This I know for the Bible tells me so! ~ I used to sing that song all the time when I was a little "angel". lol
