A Prayer for You
By Liz Montgomery
Dear Heavenly Father,
I come to Thee
With something on my
mind. You see,
I have a friend, and
I’m afraid
That something has
made her sense of worth fade.
Now, I’m not sure
what’s on her mind.
For all I know, she
could be fine.
But just in case,
Father please help me
To help her see all
that You see.
My first instinct is
to tell her that line,
“You’re a daughter of
God,” that’s been used time after time.
And while it’s true,
it doesn’t quite say
All that I need it to
say.
You see, Heavenly
Father, what I want her to know
Is that, because
she’s Thy child, she has the potential to grow
Like the meager acorn
into the mighty oak tree;
A mortal she is but a
goddess she’ll be.
I want her to know
that she’s beautiful
Because of who she is, not in spite of it all!
How can I help her to
know she is loved
By me and by Thee and
by legions above?
I just hope she
remembers the eternal love of Christ,
The Redeemer of the
world who gave up his own life
For her, yes for her,
and had she been the only one,
The God of the whole
universe still would have sent His Son
To come into the
wicked world, be mocked and scourged and killed
So her sins could be
forgiven and all her wounds be healed.
On the palms of the
Savior is her name an engraving
Because she is worth
hearing and healing and saving.
Oh Father, I know
that Thou hast all power,
So I ask Thee today
for one simple favor—
Give my friend Thy
Spirit and let Him in His power state,
“Remember, the worth of thy soul is great.”
