One Prayer for Hungry Children
Glitter Graphics - GlitterLive.com
We come together united praying as one church, to one God, one faith,
one prayer with one belief.
We pray for relief.
Praying for all children of the world should be freed from hunger that can explode into anger.
We pray that all children feel the fullness that a good meal can bring that makes their hearts sing.
That their voices should ring.
That such food tickle their bellies making them sound silly.
Oh, that I may find my Lord’s contentment in the voices of children.
That I should hear in my vibrating ear.
I do tell.
The contentment of children’s voices let this be my commandment to myself.
How can one seek greater pleasure than to know that they have met the needs of one of the children in such need that would strengthen one’s soul?
One would sleep better at night tossing and turning with the decisions of life that can lead to strife.
For every mistake that I have made in life, for every woe and every foe let their be found humility and let human kindness be the strength found in stillness, when the world is afraid to advance afraid of circumstances let their be no doubt in the life of a child in need to plant the seed.
I do so plead!
I do read with such readiness.
Let my soul plant human kindness.
If one seed planted could feed many there would be less starvation in the world. One seed of human kindness could spread as if a wild seed and feed many and the children would reach their fill.
And not one child would go to sleep hungry feeling that bitter anger that lingers as no stranger.
