For a Friend

UPDATE: THIS "FRIEND" IS NO LONGER A FRIEND. I GUESS I COULD ERASE THIS POST, INSTEAD I SHALL QUOTE ALICIA KEYS:
Yes I was burned but
I called it a lesson learned
Mistake overturned
So I call it a lesson learned
My soul has returned
So I call it a lesson learned
Another lesson learned

Ok, here's the first one. This prayer is dedicated to a Friend. This morning I got an email from the Friend saying that there's an emergency in the family and the Friend needed to travel back home. I replied back, offering my ear & shoulder if The Friend needed to talk about anything. I also said that I would say a prayer. Say a prayer ... say a prayer ... how do I say a prayer? What do I say?

Dear God Elohim, I pray for this Friend and this Friend's family. I pray that you will bless and protect them during this difficult time. Whatever they may be going through I pray that you will provide them the strength to endure. Amen.

I always feel like my prayer words are never eloquent, powerful, or poetic enough. I guess that's why I like to quote others ...

I appreciate the words of Marianne Williamson, from Illuminated Prayers:

Let miracles replace the pain in all of us.

Lay Your hands on all our eyes, that we might see at last. Amen.
