For the abused women who have had all esteem beaten out of them, I pray that into your life will come that one piece of knowledge or that one individual that will spark the courage that hides within your deepest core, so that you will flee to safety and finally be able to go on to live life to your incredible potential.
For each and every child who is being abused, I pray that their abusers have a bazillion watt halogen light shone upon them, so that all the world will see them for the cruel and perverted individuals they are and so that each child can be lovingly taken to a safe place to heal; that they be given their birth right of being able to grow in a love filled, secure environment where they will have every opportunity to develop their incredible potential.
For the children who go hungry everyday; let there be food. Let the world leaders stop the corruption within themselves and within the ranks so that aid sent to areas of devastation goes directly to the people who are suffering. (It has been 2 years since that horrific tsunami and yet a very small per cent of donations especially the cash has yet to be dispersed.)With the vast riches in this world there is absolutely no excuse for any person, let alone a child, to go hungry.
For the homeless; let there always be secure, warm, and dry shelter for each person, who for whatever the reason, finds themselves "living" on the streets.
For the elderly and the disabled; compassionate respect. May wherever you are housed, be secure and may you be surrounded by only that people who will treat you with love and dignity.
For all the troops who are courageously facing death, may our leaders hearts be touched by the Father Himself, so that the common sense decision be made- there can be no peace as a result of war. Then our sons and daughters can be brought home to the loving arms of their families. And until that day comes I fervently pray that God will wrap the troops and families within His protective and loving arms, showing all the world the greatness that is Him.
For all the missing children, no matter what their age; may you find your way back home to those who die a million deaths each nano second that you are gone. May peace and happiness be yours in the coming year.
Finally to all my friends and yet to be friends; I hope for the gift of empathy which will enrich your spirit with more compassion and love than you ever thought possible. It is then you can show that love to all people. It is then you will be fulfilling the prayer "What I desire for me, I desire for all."
For all who believe in the power of prayer, may you receive answers to your prayers along with the strength to accept the Almighty's wisdom.
For those who do not pray, I trust that you channel good and loving thoughts for all people.
We are all on the same ship, sailing in the one sea, let us make it the best cruise ever.
I love you all!

*HUUUUUUUUUUGS*
