KEEPING THE FAITH: RANDOM PRAYERS "ON THE DOWNLOAD"
DEAR GOD: You know the emptiness of my heart. Sometimes I wonder if you are there, if you hear, and if there is any hope that my situation will be different. When loneliness looms around me, when my questions are unanswered, when no one seems to care, when days and nights go on and on with no change, when I fall deeper into despair, I pray that you will let your peace fall upon me as gently as the spring rain that waters the earth. Remind me of your unconditional and eternal love for me. Assure me of your presence. Fill my heart with the hope that my life is held in your hand. Lift my pain so that joy may flow freely again through me. I ask this for the sake of your love. Amen.

Excellent choice for the quote, from our family friend! Do you remember the Thornes from Newark? Cousins Jessie and "Honey," and their children Robert and Lynda? They were great friends of Imamu. He was at their backyard picnics spouting rhetoric that Uncle Johnson used to scream about! Aunt Dot loved his "radical nature." He read a poem written especially for Jessie at her funeral!! He gave it to Lynda with the request that it not be published. She wouldn't even share it with my parents. Have a great day!!
Great quote and so very true.
