My prayer

Every day I need you Lord.
But this day especially.
I need some extra strength ,
to face what ever is to be.

This day more than any day
I need to feel you near.
To fortify my courage,
And to overcome my fear.

By myself, I cannot meet the challenge of the hour,
There are times when humans help,
But we need a higher power
To assist us bear what must be borne,
and so dear Lord, I pray -
Hold on to my trembling hand
And be near me today.
