A SIMPLE PRAYER

To hear the voice of God

Dear Father,
at times so many of us wonder if
you really are there,
if you really care.
 
Yet faith tells me that you love me-
really love us - and that you will not
leave me to the forces of harm.
You have created me for yourself.
I am precious in your
eyes. Look now at my suffering heart.
 
Dear father, You have taught all of your saints
to hear your voice.
Teach me today how to be still and how
to listen. Teach me what your voice sounds like.
 
In the name of your Son, Jesus, stay
with me. Grant me - show me -
your healing signs and wonders of
your love. I need these to know you
sincerely care. Amen
