A ^emfor You in
My ^Fhyers Today
tasked the lord to bless you
As I prayed for you today
To guide and protect you
As you go along your way.
His love is always with you,
His promises are true.
And when we give Him all our cares,
We know He will see us through.
So when the road youre traveling
Seems difficult at best.
Just remember Im here praying.
And God will do the rest.
