Prayer for America 10/20/05

Lord, give us faith to carry on when the skies grow dark with fear.

Lord, give us hope to keep moving toward the light when the fog of ignorance grows thick.

Lord, give us compassion when we feel untrusting of others we meet along the way.

Lord, give us love when it seems as though hatred rules the day.

Lord, give us healing that we may one day know joy again.

There is no problem too tough, no obstacles too great, that America cannot overcome it--with God's help.
