A woman's prayer

Lord,
 Hear my prayer for this world
People are so lost in their own "need" to survive they've forgotten how love looks 
Everyday I know people try to do right and got lost in frustration cos they got it so wrong
Lord I know some have given up figuring that failure is their portion and tears are their way
And I know that broken hearts have become familiar ground
and I know so many are lonely though surrounded by many
Lord children cry cos somehow this world devalued them.
and elders cry cos this world has forgotten them

And so Lord here is a womans cry,
Give us wisdom so forgiveness is obvious
Give us fearlessness that we may fight not for ourselves only but for each other
Give us courage to stand, stand above our failures and fear, that we become answers to the prayers we pray
Give us hearts full of love, that our eyes open to what really matters ...And that we DO something about it!
Open our arms to embrace all in need of your love
Give us grateful hearts for everything, everything You've ever done for us
and memories that remember your best for us in our worst moments

Lord as women and custodians of your love, teach us ABBA how to revive hope and love.
and may our prayers become their selfless realities.
Jesus we love You and in Your name we pray..Amen.
