Not to Seek,

Lord,

but to Share

Dear God, much too often

we seek You in prayer

Because we are wallowing

in our own self-despair

We make every word

we lamentably speak

An imperative plea

for whatever we seek

We pray for ourselves

and so seldom for others,

 

We're concerned with our problems and not with our brother's

We seem to forget, Lord,

that the "sweet hour of prayer"

Is not for self-seeking

but to place in Your care

All the lost souls

unloved and unknown

And to keep praying for them

until they're Your own

For it's never enough to

seek God in prayer

With no thought of others

who are lost in despair

So teach us, dear God,

that the Power of Prayer

Is made stronger by placing

the world in Your care!

I looked and looked for the right background for this beautiful prayer. I found it at a wonderful place
