The Gift I Ask From God. Poem by Dr. Antony Theodore

as it happened, tony, i came across the prayer i copy below just yesterday. i thought you'd appreciate it. -glen O Great Spirit, whose voice I hear in the winds And whose breath gives life to everyone, Hear me. I come to you as one of your many children; I am weak. I am small. I need your wisdom and your strength. Let me walk in beauty, and may my eyes ever Behold the red and purple sunsets. Make my hand respect the things you have made, And make my ears sharp so I may hear your voice. Make me wise, so that I may understand what you Have taught my people and The lessons you have hidden in each leaf and each rock. I ask for wisdom and strength, Not to be superior to my brothers, but to be able To fight my greatest enemy, myself. Make me ever ready to come before you with Clean hands and a straight eye, So as life fades away as a fading sunset, My spirit may come to you without shame.

Shall we ask together, a genuine wish, why not? , I am sure the Lord will grand you sure.

A very moderate wish, yet it makes one's life blissful! When you place such a humble wish before God, how can He refuse it! Love the simplicity and the sweet brevity of this ardent prayer!

Hands that are tender and an understanding heart nice desire to ask as gifts. in simple lines you pack great desire.
