Modern Prayer

Dear God
Every single evening,
As I'm lying here in bed.
This tiny little Prayer,
Keeps running through my head.

God bless all my family and friends,
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 would 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,dear Lord.

You see, that little metal box,
Holds more than odds and ends.
Inside those small compartments,
Rests 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 in my box,
And each person who will hit 'send'.
