No More Disease


Creator of Life,
Whose being fills the Universe,
You fill me with awe.
All creation bows to you.
Nourish me with knowledge.
Protect me from the fear of the unknown.
Help me protect others from society's created fears.
Deliver me into eternity
As my mother delivered me into this world.
Let the learning that you impart
Through the toil of countless scientists,
Deliver a world free of disease, of suffering.
For you are the Infinite Mind,
All knowing, all powerful,
All Love.

The Lost Sheep


"The Lord is my Shepherd..."
Those words echo in the soul of every Christian.
But too often I feel
Like a sheep that has wandered astray:
Alone,
Lost,
Afraid.
Let me be a sheep in God's fold:
Warm,
Secure,
Surrounded by others.
If that cannot be,
Then let me remember
The parable of the lost sheep:
That the Shepherd will leave the ninety and nine
To look for the lost one.
Look for me, O Lord.
