A PRAYER

Author: Unknown

Dear Lord as I face another day
Guide the things I do and say
Walk before every step I take
And help me with each decision I make
As I watch for my enemies keenly
Protect me from my friends truly
Touch my Boss' heart today neatly
So I get a raise won't you sweetie
Cause Lord you know my bills are high
Making my stress level up to the sky
And Lord at the end of the day
Remind me that thanks I should say

Hi, kle76am,
Amen, but for Protect me from my friends truly. This is very sad, for it is friends that should be protecting you, too. Thank you for sharing.

I like the part about your boss -

wouldn't he be a sweety if the lord did that one thing?

I like the last line, a reminder that we have to be thankful. In other words, cultivate the attitude of gratitude.

Ladybee and Poet#1 I have faith that the Lord will touch his hard. It is just that He is chipping away at the layers have ice surrounding it and does take a looooooooottttt of time.

Thelmatha we always pray for the things we want and when we get them we forget to say thanks. I am guilty of it sometimes so I ask to be reminded. Thanks to you all for reading it is great when I read you comments.
