My Prayer




Almighty, God, our Father in heaven, hear your humble servant. It is only You who knows who I am. From the moment I was born or yet in the womb of my mother. I could not have wished to be born but your love has breathed into my life this gift of temporal existence.
            You have given me a soul without stain but the world that surrounds my life has molded me to what I am now, a poor, despised sinner.  I have learned to care for the people I serve in the most possible way I can because you once were a leader of a service. I have done it for these long years and I know it was years well-spent, a cherished memory to remember when I retire.
            But again the deafening clamors and wailing of your people have reached my ears disturbing my spirit that might have consigned to serenity.  They urged me to lead them out from the quagmire of criminality, corruption, and inequality.  My lips say, no, but their overwhelming cry has conquered again and enslaved my heart and dragged it front line to the place of battle.  Ever-living God, If it is your will,  I will follow. Only give me the strength and the wisdom to serve my people.

            Make me an instrument of peace between my warring Moro  brothers and the NPAs because we need to unite our countrymen.  Show us the common ground where we can shake hands and embrace  the climate of peace.  Help me to make this country a land of honey and prosperity.  


           
         Then my weary soul can rest because my soul is made for you and it will never rest until it rests in You.
