Peace

Peace, I pray for peace in this world. How much could we do together as brothers and sisters? Maybe, I should pray for the end of hatred and greed for without hatred and greed the world would be better. As I prayed for peace I realized that the only true peace is in accepting God’s will and love.

I watch humming birds come to the feeder in my garden; I have seen at least four but they spend more time chasing each other away than they do feeding. These birds remind me of humans too busy fighting and killing to see if they shared with each other there would be no want.

My faith in God gives me peace, a peace I have never known before. I have accepted God’s will and say, “Let it be done.” Everything I have I owe to God, therefore everything I have belongs to God and I should use the gifts He has given me to serve.

I cry out oh Lord,
Hear my prayer,
Show me the way,
What must I do to serve You?

Strengthen me my God,
Send your Spirit to guide me,
I hear you call,
“Come follow me.”
