I Pray

Today as I walked, the lyrics to an old song from my childhood began humming through my head. I loved this song, and I sang it often. Without any effort the lyrics came back to me and settled in my heart.

It is still a good prayer for today.

I pray that I may always find the good that’s in each day – a friend who has a kindly word or a smile that comes my way. I pray that I may never lose the thrill of little things – a star a million miles away or a bird I see in spring. I pray that when each day is done I’ll face the One above to pray that He will show my heart the way to greater love – a love that helps me understand the wonders of each day, a love that joins my hands to other hands. For this I pray.

–I could not find the author of the lyrics. If you know who composed this prayer, please drop the name in the comments. I would love to give credit for these beautiful words.

Happy Valentine’s Day!
