A Special Prayer for the Crisis in Ukraine
Poem
Tears of Blood
Bikki Gautam
I closed my eyes, When I opened them I couldn't close them again. How could I? Is humanity dead? Is peace dead? Is violence the way? Lord, have pity on us. We have let you down. We have made you cry. Fire, smoke everywhere. What did they get? Nothing but innocent lives and tears of blood.
I Am Yours Prayer
Based on Psalm 100
Lord, you know me so well. Your love makes me want to serve you. I am happy when I am close to you.
I know you are God. You created me and I am yours. You are always watching over me and protecting me, Like a shepherd watching his sheep.
So I come before you full of joy. I praise you and thank you.
Your kindness lasts forever. Throughout the ages you have rescued me. I know I am treasured. Thank you.
Amen.
