Dear God

Dear God,

When I am lonely
perhaps I feel despair,
Let not my ailing heart forget
that YOU hear every prayer.
Remind me that no matter what

I do or fail to do,

There still is hope for as long
as I have FAITH in YOU.
Let not my eyes be blinded by
some folly I commit.

But help me to regret my wrong
and to make up for it.
Inspire me to put my fears
upon a hidden shelf,
And in the future never to
be sorry for myself.
Give me the restful sleep I need
before another dawn,
And bless me in the morning
with "the courage to go on"
