Prayers - Peace Prayer

By Ruth Williams

Action Verbs

WActionVerbsGive me more than good intentions.
Put wings on my prayers.
Help me get past, "I feel your pain,"
to, "Let's build a well for your village."
Help me be an agent of change
and keeper of peace at the same time.
Instead of my saying,
"What's this world coming to?"
Take me farther:
"What can I do to make it right?"
Make my life a testament to Your grace
as I leave my comfort zone
to go where the need is.
Bless me as I forge into the world to serve.
Transform my passive empathy
into passionate action.
