Prayer for Strength
Every day I need you Lord,
but this day especially,
I need some extra strength
to face whatever is to be.
This day more than any day
I need to feel You near,
To fortify my courage
and to overcome my fear.
By myself, I cannot meet
the challenge of the hour,
There are times when humans help,
but we need a higher power
To assist us bear what must be borne,
and so dear Lord, I pray –
Hold on to my trembling hand
and be near me today.
Amen.
