FOOLISH NOT TO PRAY

 “I did a very foolish thing today: I made a reckless choice, I didn't pray. I really think I'm gonna be okay, but, Jesus, Help me choose the Faithful way!”

FROM HURTING ME TO SERVING YOU

 “Prevent my hurting me, dear Lord, today! Please, keep me cautious, prayerful, and kind! From foolishness, please Help me break away… and be toward doing what's your will inclined! Prevent my making any reckless choice; please, fill my heart with understanding, too. Please, help my heart in love and truth rejoice, and find pure joy in daily serving You! Thank You!”

BLESSINGS FOR ALL

 “May every animosity now die. May every fear now be removed by love. May kindly, helpful truth replace each lie; let's all our foolishness now rise above. May peace and justice overcome all ills, may patience enter now our hurried lives. The Holy One's who every need fulfills; a faithful person much more likely thrives. I wish ya every beneficial thing, your housing, clothing, water, food, and air; your meds, and all the health the Lord can bring; may Heaven show ya tender, loving care. Amen!”

UNPLEASANT TRUTHS ABOUT A FOOL

 “Profoundly ignorant, a fool mocks Truth, and tightly clings to lies as though they're gold. He rants them forth, in manner quite uncouth; he bought them wholesale, back in days of old. His mind is constipated, darkly set; his words like gas that's long been held within. He's full of crap as anyone could get, and doesn't care 'bout love, just wants ta win. Lord, bless his mind with sanity today, and help it get unbound and fully free. Please, help his heart choose life, while yet it may, and help him know he's loved, by You and me!”

DON'T MISS YOUR PRAYER RENDEZVOUS

 “To fail to pray ‘s a truly foolish thing, unless already Spirit’s made ya Smart! There’s many gifts your angels want ta Bring, but First, you gotta have an humble heart. No, pride and recklessness will do ya in, if you won’t ask the Spirit what ta do. If you want beauty, love, and truth ta win, there needs ta be some praying, Done By You!”

LOVING-KINDNESS SAVES

 “Now, why did we elect the shameless ones? We seemed ta have a need ta self-destruct. We’ve killed abroad with missiles, bombs, and guns; in many ways our policies have sucked! When we must choose, let’s choose true kindness first, ‘cause that’s the way ta turn this ship around. The foolish folks may always do their worst, but all the lost will change when they get found! – you better believe it!”
