Prayer

I have a prayer tonight

May those who are hurt and with wounds unseen be healed

For those who are physically disabled, make them complete

To give those whose dreams are dashed, the strength to make new ones.

For those who are betrayed, to give them faith and renew their hope in the goodness of mankind

May we all learn to listen to the gentle voice of wisdom
