Lead Me

I read that people of many different faiths say this prayer at noon each day. Beautiful, isn't it? Especially to think of a tapestry of people all saying this all over the world.

"Lead me from death to life,
from falsehood to truth.
Lead me from despair to hope,
from fear to trust.
Lead me from hate to love,
from war to peace.
Let peace fill
our hearts,
our world,
our universe."

Anne this is beautiful - I am going to print it and try to say it at noon everyday!

I like it all but relate now to..

"lead me from despair to hope"

Hope is such a gift. like Love. when you arent feeling the love there is always hope.

Ive been through a black and blue period to say the least - hope in ultimate love has got me through.

I am excited about seeing people I love and friends I havent seen in a while - maybe even tomorrow!

Thanks for this - have a wonderful day!

Peace and Love

Anne - Maybe I ought to know this, but what is that prayer from? I love it, but I don't think I've ever heard of it before. It's beautiful.

Erin - It sounds similar to me to the prayer that is attributed to St. Francis of Assisi
"Make me an instrument of your peace"

Peace
