Unusual prayer

26 comments


Someone emailed me this today and I thought you might enjoy it -it is relevant to all our friends on here!

TO: God.Com
Dear Lord,

Every single evening
As I’m lying here in bed,
This tiny little Prayer
Keeps running through my head:

God bless all my family
Wherever they may be,
Keep them warm
And safe from harm
For they’re so close to me.

And God, there is one more thing
I wish that you could do;
Hope you don’t mind me asking,
Please bless my computer too.

Now I know that it’s unusual
To Bless a motherboard,
But listen just a second
While I explain it to you, Lord.

You see, that little metal box
Holds more than odds and ends;
Inside those small compartments
Rest so many of my friends.

I know so much about them
By the kindness that they give,
And this little scrap of metal
Takes me in to where they live.

By faith is how I know them
Much the same as you.
We share in what life brings us
And from that our friendships grew..

Please take an extra minute
From your duties up above,
To bless those in my address book
That’s filled with so much love.

Wherever else this prayer may reach
To each and every friend,
Bless each e-mail inbox
And each person who hits ‘send’.

When you update your Heavenly list
On your own Great CD-ROM,
Bless everyone who says this prayer
Sent up to GOD.Com

Amen

Just wonderful, and I know exactly what you mean. My little laptop, a link to the world, without it would be so isolated. God bless goy.

Very true

It certainly is an unusual prayer! Nevertheless the sentiment it expresses is very much in the hearts of most of us! PCs are not just electronic parts as they are also a window into other people's souls!

I liked that prayer. I agree Balcony, it is unusual.

very ! especially when it misbehaves.....x

27 Nov, 2011

 

Sorry Pam, am I dense - when what misbehaves?

28 Nov, 2011

 

Delightful and so true!

28 Nov, 2011

 

I wonder if Pam means,when her PC misbehaves,Sue ?
That is what I thought of..after re reading it..

28 Nov, 2011

 

Ah yes probably!

28 Nov, 2011

 

This was from me not from Iciar - a practical example of technology misbehaving, right on time!

28 Nov, 2011

 

Couldn't have been timed better..Took me a bit of time to suss out what had happened,Sue...Got it ,at last !! Lol.Iciar has a very pretty Avatar,though..and so do you :o))

28 Nov, 2011

 

I wonder if it is a self portrait lol. Probably even nowadays kids aren't quite advanced enough to use computers at that age. Mine is some anemones in the garden - I love 'em don't you? Specially the blue ones.

28 Nov, 2011

 

ITS HAPPENED AGAIN!! I'm not a baby, honest!

28 Nov, 2011

 

oh dear,what's going on ? which Avatar pic belongs to who? confused now ! :o)

29 Nov, 2011

 

Iciar is the baby, Steragram is the anemones. You are not the only one who is confused.

29 Nov, 2011

 

well it seems Goy's misbehaving too...how strange its always the baby-- it happened last week too I think to Lincslass

I just had a look at the babys profile-- from 2007? and there are no comments or messages listed.....

29 Nov, 2011

 

there's weird thing happening on the blogs too from liquin??-- I'll flag one I think...theres loads of them I hoe they sort it soon....:0(((

29 Nov, 2011

 

Thats is a brilliant prayer, and so true. Added to favourites.

Wow whats going on with GoY? Took me a while to work out what was going on there. As you said perfect timing for a technology malfunction lol

29 Nov, 2011

 

I too loved this and will send it to most of my friends and I have added it to my favs too. Thank you...
