A PRAYER FOR POSITIVE LIVING

Dear God of mercy and love,

You know I have lived

with HIV/AIDS

and a fear for my health

never ends.

But I thank you, dear God

for the love you have shown

and the care of my family

and friends.

For love gives me peace

and peace makes me strong

to go on with my life

and I know

that I live in your grace

and have problems to face

but my spirit

continues to grow.

I thank you for love.

I thank you for peace

I thank you for family

and friends.

I thank you for strength

and give thanks

for good food

and a faith that I pray

never ends.

I pray that you help

those who suffer this sick

and give them the strength

that I know.

Please stand by their families

and show them the way

to help their loved ones

to grow.

And I make this prayer

through your son

Jesus Christ

our Lord and Saviour.

Amen.
