FOR TONIGHT (Father Manny)

FOR TONIGHT
(c) 2005 Stephanie Durand

*This was written for a friend who was going through a very difficult time in her life, and was talking about ending her life. I sat down, prayed, and wrote this for her and gave it to her.

Lord, when do we pray?
My child, pray always

Lord, how can I endure?
Endure with my strength

Lord, how can I see day?
Though my eyes, you can see

Lord, it is so hard today
My child, just pray


Pray for what?
Pray for wisdom, for strength,
And for courage.
Pray for healing, for comfort,
For how to love and how to give
away comfort, love, hope, and healing

Pray always
See through your pain
and know that I am with you

Whisper to me at night
and know that I hear you
If you cry out in despair,
Know that I am always there.

Sweet child, things will be alright
Even in the darkenss of your night

Don't weep alone
Too many tears can flood a river
Reach out to others
Be a taker, as much as a giver

Take thier hope, their love, and their prayers
Take your Bible, and know that I am there

So, sweet child, rest your head tonight
Don't be overtaken by fright

Let me be your LIGHT
Let me endure your PAIN
Let me hold your HAND
I AM walking beside you
And everthing will be alright.

Love,
Your Father God
