Parish News for Sunday 20th June 2010

A young person’s prayer for the future

Each day brings new beginnings,
decisions I must make,
I can choose to take the road of life
that leads to great success
or travel down the darkened road
that leads to great distress.
Please open up my eyes,
dear Lord that I might clearly see,
help me stand for what is right,
Bring out the best in me.
Help me, Lord, to just say “no”
when temptation comes my way,
that I might keep my body clean
and fit for life each day.
When my teenage years are over
I know that I will see
that life is lived its very best
with you walking next to me.
