My Life Is A Prayer

My Life Is A Prayer

Some look at me and wonder... I wonder too...
Nothing extraordinary to behold and often nothing of myself to give.
Illness and weakness beset me and I know I will never get better.

I have known pain...
Emotional pain,
Physical pain,
Mental pain.

I still know much of that pain deep in my heart, but I've learnt ways of coping with it now, and the rest? The rest has received a measure of healing...

I see the pain that others bear - for some it's the pain of their mere existence! I cannot help them all - I can only help a very few, and it rips at my heart that this is all so limited.

As I hear of tragedies, read of them, see them, what can I do? Where can I begin? My heart reaches out to them, but my strength flees from me!

This one thing I can do...

I can pray for you, for them, for the suffering all mankind goes through...
