Wendy's Prayer

by Pam Harris
(Devon UK)

I wrote this prayer for my friend Wendy after her husband left her for another woman. She had suffered a long time with him taunting her about her faith and she was finally taken into a refuge for battered women. She came to stay with my family and I for 5 days during which time my daughter was getting baptised. The total immersion baptism so move Wendy that she asked me to write her something to place above her bed in the new home she was hoping to move to 3 weeks later.
This is Wendy's prayer.




Wendy's Prayer

I bring myself to you, Lord
And trust your loving care
I never will give in, Lord
You save me from despair

I take your gentle hand, Lord
I know that you will lead
Now give to me all things, Lord
That I may daily need

So as I walk through life, Lord
Beneath your loving eyes
I ever will be glad, Lord
For each new days surprise.
