A Prayer for You

I thought of you so much today
I went to God in prayer,
To ask Him to watch over you
And show you that we care

My prayer for you was not for rewards
That you could touch or feel,
But true rewards for happiness
That are so very real.

Like love and understanding
In all the things you do,
And guidance when you need it most
To see your troubles through.

I asked Him for good health for you
So your future could be bright,
And faith to accept life's challenges
And the courage to do what's right.

I gave thanks to Him
For granting my prayer
To bring you peace and love.

May you feel the warmth in your life
With God's blessings from above.
