"I live alone" Prayer I live alone, dear Lord stay by my side in all my daily needs be thou my guide. Grant me good health for that indeed I pray to carry on my work from day to day. Keep pure my mind, my thoughts, my every deed, let me be kind and unselfish in my neighbours need. Spare me from fire, from flood, malicious tongues. From thieves, from fear and evil ones. If sickness or an accident befalls then humbly, Lord I pray, hear thou my call. And when I'm feeling low or in despair lift up my heart and help me in my prayer. I live alone, dear Lord yet have no fear because I feel Your presence ever near. Amen. by Teresa Langley |
