A PRAYER FOR TODAY


All those images, Lord

front page stories

news exclusives scandals

disasters wars and conflicts

blood spilt communities broken

harvests failed famine and Aids

How do we begin to pray

we who have no experience

have suffered little possess all we need?

Other than to begin from a place of thankfulness

and humility to reach out

not only through our hearts and minds

but through our words and actions

To become a part of the answer

to the prayer we find so hard to utter
