Father, I beg you!

I respect your right to worship (or not) any Higher Power you choose… but the following is my prayer to my Heavenly Father. If you are moved to do so, please join me in this prayer.

Heavenly Father,
I love You.
I appreciate You waking me up each day,
and I recognize that each day is a gift from You. 

But Father, I must admit I’m growing tired.

I’m growing tired of the violence.
I’m tired of the killing.
I’m tired of guns and knives… and even fists.

I am tired of hearing about children being killed while they are in their own homes!
I am tired of hearing about children killing others!
I’m growing weary in my attempts to make a difference.

So I must give it to You.

I recognize that You have everything in Your hands.
I know that though we face hard times,
You never leave us.

So I beg of You…

Please, silence the guns.
Sheath the knives.
Pocket our fists.
Hush the angry voices.

Embrace us now.

Return us to the days when we taught “Thou Shall Not Kill!”
Instead of “Don’t kill, because you might get busted.”
Infiltrate our community with Your PEACE.
Help us to remember to LOVE OUR NEIGHBORS!
Let us UNDERSTAND that this means ALL NEIGHBORS,
No matter our differences…

Remind us that WE are Your workers here on Earth,
And that we are representing You when we walk among others.

May our weapons be our hearts.
May they only be used for Your good.

Please, Mighty Father!

Please.

I beg You.

Amen.

Gwen Carver
