A Prayer for those Who Live Alone

 "......and rain will spread eastwards after midnight, turning to sleet and snow mainly across the higher ground of Scotland and the Pennines...", BBC weather forcast says, and quietly I pray,...

 

A PRAYER FOR THOSE WHO LIVE ALONE

 

I live alone, Dear Lord

Stay by my side.

In all my daily needs,

Be Thou my guide.

Grant me good health,

For that, indeed, I pray

To carry on my work

From day to day.

Keep pure my mind,

My thoughts, my every deed.

Let me be kind, unselfish,

In my neighbour's need.

If sickness or an accident befall,

Then humbly, Lord, I pray,

Hear Thou my call.

And when I'm feeling low,

Or in despair,

Lift up my heart

And help me in my prayer.

I live alone, Dear Lord,

Yet have no fear,

Because I feel Your presence

Ever near.  Amen
