PRAYER FOR MY COMPUTER

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…

Bless my computer, too.

Now I know that it's not normal

To bless a mother board,

But listen just a second

While I explain it to you, “My 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 the person who hits Send.

When you update your heavenly list

On your own CD-ROM,

Remember each who've said this prayer

Sent up to God.com.

Amen.

Love each other with genuine affection, and take delight in honoring each other. Romans 12:10

Put on then, as God’s chosen ones, holy and beloved, compassionate hearts, kindness, humility, meekness, and patience, bearing with one another and, if one has a complaint against another, forgiving each other; as the Lord has forgiven you, so you also must forgive. And above all these put on love, which binds everything together in perfect harmony. Colossians 3:12-14

As iron sharpens iron, so a friend sharpens a friend. (Proverbs 27:17, NLT)

Do to others as you would like them to do to you. Luke 6:31 NLT

Friends are God’s way of taking care of us. - Anonymous
