    • Prayer

      From Love4you June 4

      I asked God to watch over you. I asked Him to hold you in his loving arms, and keep you safe from all harm. I asked Him to guide you with his light and stay beside you through the night. I asked Him to take away your sorrow, and help you find your dreams tomorrow. I asked Him to fill you with hope as you begin each new day and to send many blessings your way~Love, Maria
