Prayer for Today
By Mirla Greenwood Thayne
Great God of Truth, deliver us from this:
The cowardice that shrinks from truth that’s new,
The laziness that knows the doubtful bliss
And dross content that half-truth tends to brew.
Spare us the arrogance that thinks it knows
All truth— to spurn the need of any more.
Unseal our minds and lead our vagrant feet
In open fields, new vistas to explore.
(1958)
Regrettably, meanies have stolen content from Keepa in the past! I'm confident you will choose honesty and cite this page like this:
