I prayed

"Communion Prayers"
by Atlanta Marie Carrera

I prayed for strength.

Heavy burdens came my way.

Now I am strong.

I prayed for courage.

Then I faced my greatest fears.

I'm no longer scared.

I prayed forgiveness.

Not til I forgave

did I feel forgiven.

I prayed when lonely,

and in my despair,

I felt God there.

I prayed for love,

and when I let go,

God's love came to me.
