I SAID A PRAYER FOR YOU TODAY. I ASKED HIS HOLYNESS TO KEEP YOU IN HIS GRACES.
HE SPOKE TO ME WITH WORDS SO COMFORTING AND GENTLE, HE SAYS HE KNOWS YOUR SUFFERING, HE KNOWS YOUR PAIN.
YOU ARE IN HIS GRACES AND HE HOLDS YOU AT NIGHT WHILE YOU SLUMBER AND COVERS YOU WITH HIS MANTLE.
HE HUGS YOU AND KISSES YOU, KNOWING YOU ARE STRONG, YOU ARE FORTIFIED, AND YOU ARE HIS CHILD. HE KNOWS YOUR PAIN, YET IN HIS INFINITE WAY LETS YOU KNOW EVERYTHING WILL BE OKAY.
HE COVERS YOU IN HIS WARMTH, THAT WARMTH THAT MAKES YOU FEEL LOVED AND PROTECTED. HE PROTECTS YOU WHILE YOU GRIEVE, HE WIPES YOUR TEARS WHILE YOU CRY,
HE IS THERE IN ALL YOUR MOMENTS OF SORROW.
THOUGH YOUR PAIN I CANNOT HEAL, AND YOUR TEARS I CANNOT DRY, I CAN OFFER UP A PRAYER, KNOWING MY LORD WILL BE THERE, EVER SO LOVING.
I FEEL HIS PEACE, I FEEL HIM WITH YOU. THE COMFORT I FEEL KNOWING HE IS WITH YOU EVER SO PEACEFUL.
THIS TOO SHALL PASS AND GOD IN HIS HIGHNESS WILL BE THERE TO LOVE YOU AND HOLD YOUR HAND. HE WILL MEND YOUR BROKEN HEART, AND I WILL BE THERE IN THE END. I SAID A PRAYER FOR YOU TODAY, AND THROUGH THAT PRAYER HE HEARD ME, THROUGH HIM AND FOR HIM, HE GAVE ME THESE WORDS TO OFFER YOU A PIECE OF COMFORT.
