A SHORT PRAYER 2
Bless me this day, O God,
cleanse me of all my sins,
a snake shedding its skin;
protect me from the wicked,
help me evade their snares
like deer flee hungry bears;
please shower Your blessings
like April rains nourish
the earth, makes flowers flourish;
protect my friends and kin
like shields ward fighting men;
all praise Your holy Name.
Amen.
TANKA 58
Many temptations
vanish like mist beneath the
hot morning sun if
I measure myself against
God’s Word rather than others.
