Toward A New Dawn
Five Prayers for the New Year
Prayer 5
It is the end of the week and here is one more prayer from Prayers for Healing. In 2010 may you be blessed with enough as this year unfolds season by season, day by day, hour by hour, and minute by minute.
“I have no other helper than you, no other father, I pray to you.
Only you can help me. My present misery is too great.
Despair grips me, and I am at my wit’s end.
O Lord, Creator, Ruler of the World, Father.
I thank you that you have brought me through.
“How strong the pain was — but you were stronger.
How deep the fall was – but you were even deeper.
How dark the night was – but you were the noonday sun in it.
“You are our father, our mother, our brother, and our friend. Amen.”
--An African prayer
