If I Could

    If I could I would lay down my life as a sacrifice so as to save people and take away their pain. I would say to the world if you hate someone then direct that hate towards me. If you want to insult someone then insult me. I would deflect for others the racial and demeaning comments and bear up under their attacks. I would stand in front of my brothers and sisters to protect them so to ease their pain and suffering if I could. If I could I would make myself a center point for all the world's attacks so that others may live in peace without fear. I wish if I could to make a great change in our world.
     The children are crying and the adults do not know what to do I want to dry their tears and give them hope for their future if I could. Our world seems like it's crumbling down around us and it feels that we are at the edge of destruction I wish I could make it all better if I could. May God help us to find our way out of all this mess. I want to help him in helping us if I could. Let us make tomorrow to be a happier place if we could.
     Let the I's turn into we. If we could love one another then we could trust each other. If we could trust each other then we could help each other without fear. If we could sacrifice a little of our time to help it could make a great difference in our world. If we could make people a priority over money and things a change will definitely happen. If we could replace hate with love within our hearts people could live without worry. Many standing together hand in hand is a lot better than one man standing alone. The words if we could if acted upon will have a far greater impact than only if I could.     

Continuing On

     Our Father in heaven gives us the power, the strength and the love to endure this world we live on. Help us to accomplish your will upon this world. Help us to bear up under our mortal weaknesses within our body and mind. Do not let us fall away from you but keep us close under your protection. Continue to watch over us as we go through our trails and tribulations in our life. Let not our heart to become so harden so as to not to show love. Have mercy upon our souls.
    As my body weakens let me not falter from the course I must follow. I will carry on as long as I can. Let my feet continue to walk upon the narrow path and please guide me to where I must go.  Even as my days are limited by a sickness within my body let each of those days be fruitful and pleasing to you. I will hold tight to my faith in you and to that promise of new world that is to come. I will continue to stand on your side and someday to be with you in your kingdom.
     Lord, what am I to do but to continue on serving you. You are the reason of my existence. You are my purpose to which I live. I cannot go on without you. Each day that I live I give my thanks to you. Lord, forgive me of my sins and watch out over my soul so I do not stumble and fall. I will try my best to continue on doing your will while enduring the pain and suffering of life. In Jesus name I pray, Amen.
