A Prayer for YOU

Filed under: Uncategorized

Con todo mi corazon
Quiero amarte Senor
y vivir mi vida cada dia
conocerte’ Senor
Gracias Jesus
–JoAnn Rosario, “With All My Heart”

I sure hope my translation above is correct. Um, Dragonfly, check that for me please.

I’m about to kill some song lyrics in combination below, so bear with me.

Lord,

I’m available to you. I know you can hear the voice of sinners, but can you wipe away my tears?

For the rest of my life, I’ll praise you because just having you in my life has made the difference. I honor and celebrate your name. In me, there is no doubt or shadow of turning from you. You are great, and you do miracles so great. There is no else like you.

Father, today, can you reach my friend and help him* understand? Can you reach my friend? You’re the only one who can. He’s not on his knees yet. He’s not ready, but let him be blessed, let him be broken, and let him be given to give sight to all mankind. Lord, mold him and make him again and again.

Jesus, can you heal my sister of all her pain and abuse? Can you take away the dread of someone’s wandering hands and the horror of an illegal phallic invasion? Will you heal the tears left by neglect, and will you broker peace in the midst of her storm? Will you take care of nights of loneliness, feelings of depression, and roots of despair? Will you exchange beauty for ashes, strength for fear, laughter for mourning, and peace for despair?

Yes, you can, and yes, you will.

Thank you Father. I may not be able to tell the wind when to blow or the trees to bow at my command. I may not be able to tell the sea when to stop before she rolls across the sand, but there is one consolation, I’m happy to know. I have a Father who can. You are indeed a father who can.

Muchos besos con todo mi corazon,
Tu hija se llama A

  1. what a beautiful prayer. thank you for posting this.

    and your translation was great! although for saying “…to know you Lord” you’d say “a conocerte SeƱor” instead of using ’saber’. ’saber’ is used to convey knowing factual info or knowing how to do something. ‘conocer’ is used to express knowing a person or to express familiarity with something or someplace. :-)

    ok, i’m done being a geek now. you may now return to your regularly scheduled programming.

    Thanks! I couldn’t remember which verb to use, so I just picked one.
