KATHRYN McCOY MUSSEY

               Dear God,
               Teach me to pray
               Understandingly!

               Teach me
               To use the words
               Which tell of Thine omnipotence,
               With authority,
               And to prove them instantly,
               As Jesus did.

               And grant
               These same strong words of Truth
               May go from me with gentleness
               To the hearts
               Of the sorrowing and afflicted,
               Causing them to know Thy tenderness,
               And helping them to gain a vision
               Of the glory of Love,
               And by this shining vision
               Be healed
               Of their sorrow and pain.

               Dear God,
               Teach me to pray
               Understandingly!
