Thank you, Glenn, for sharing this thought.
It is sometimes easy to forget "whose hands we are in".
We in the personal sense and the universal.

I see a co-worker lose her job and I pray for her.
I watch my uncle, my father's brother, be buried and I pray for him.
I hear of soldiers in Afghanistan and I pray for them.

Sometimes I feel my prayers are futile, there is not enough time for all
the prayers needed. Sometimes it is easy, sometimes not. Often times
prayers of gratitude roll easily off my tongue and at rare times they cannot
even be remembered.

Usually, the power of prayer is so clear to me.
Thanks for reminding me, again.
In peace and harmony,
Sally

Yesterday I received a prayer list and it it inspired this bit to musing

Yesterday I received a prayer list
I printed two copies and left them on my desk
On copy for my wife, and one for me.
I left the copies on my desk

I saw a lady walking on the street
I thought; how sad her size impedes her way
I offered grace that she would see
Each step she takes a way to pray.

In the news a young black man
Is fighting the hate of three white thugs
I think of the prayer list on my desk
I think what will I do to change this mess

A friend with cancer returns to work
A sisters husband on his last breaths
I thank God for I am blessed
And still the prayer list on my desk

How often we say, it's in Gods hands
We use our prayer as last resort
Forgetting whose hands we're in
The list might be a better way to begin

In Peace and Healing
Glenn
