Prayer For Peace

Peace has deserted me,

Since pain has invaded

My fatigued self.

These sorrows, sufferings

Lethargy, insomnia

Diseases, and stresses thereof –

I hail all thorns in life,

With Peace around.

Lend me infinite pain,

In guise of Peace, O Lord!

I will endure it,

With uncompromising love,

And devotion for You

In gratitude.

For, to evade helping others,

Being engrossed in;

A selfish quest for peace,

Is to shirk paying my tribute;

To pray You,

Being engulfed in turbulence,

Is to disgrace Your Supremacy;

And to remember You

Only in distress,

Is to celebrate my selfishness.
