Pray

Sometimes......

The sun rises,

but the skies are not bright....

Waves break,

though the ocean seems at rest...

Birds fly,

but don't swoop in fanciful flight...

People laugh,

when inside they're crying...

Life is good,

But the heart still aches...

Today I pray, for the strength to walk on the path where you are guiding me, for the calm that comes from knowing that You will never give me more than I can handle, for Your protection over my family, let them feel Your unconditional love wash over them and fill their hearts with abundant joy, for confidence to move in the direction of my dreams, knowing that you are with me every step of the way.
