Dear God

Dear God

Dear God, give us strength to do things that are right,
give us courage in our lives, teach all not to fight.
Give us wisdom for our children to practice each day,
teach us to be like Jesus in each and every way.

Dear God, help us not to be jealous of others,
help children respect their fathers and their mothers.
Help us bite our tongues when words need not be spoken,
help us to never tell a lie and keep our promises unbroken.

Dear God, show us how to keep our earthly bodies pure,
keep us free from addictions and any other sinful lure.
Give us the knowledge to remember to kneel down and pray,
not only when we need you but each and every day.

Dear God, let us not use Your name in vain,
when bitter words enter our minds help us to refrain.
Give us strength to withstand the devils temptations,
give us peace in our homes and all through the nations.

Dear God, I do thank You for the miracles I've seen,
I thank You for giving me a life so serene.
Thank You for the gift of family and friends,
thank You for Your love that never ever ends.
