This is not a sacred song, but rather a once-popular country ballad.  Nonetheless, my all-time favorite secular song lyrics speak for themselves ... and this is my prayer for you today, friends!

I hope you never lose your sense of wonder,
You get your fill to eat but always keep that hunger,
May you never taken one single breath for granted,
God forbid love ever leave you empty-handed.
 
I hope you still feel small when you stand beside the ocean.
Whenever one door closes, I hope one more opens.
Promise me that you'll give faith a fighting chance,
And when you get the choice to sit it out or dance,
I hope you dance!
 
I hope you never fear those mountains in the distance.
Never settle for the path of least resistance.
Living might mean taking chances, but they're worth taking.
Loving might be a mistake, but it's worth making.
 
Don't let some hell-bent heart leave you bitter.
When you come close to selling out, reconsider.
Give the heavens above more than just a passing glance,
And when you get the choice to sit it out or dance,
I hope you dance!
 
Time is a wheel in constant motion
Always rolling us along. 
I hope you dance!
Tell me who wants to look back on their years
And wonder where those years have gone?
I hope you dance!

Prayer for Today

A Prayer for You
 
May you always hear God's call on your life -
May you rest in the peace of God's presence as you journey
May you choose to remain true to yourself -
Hold on to your dreams,
And when you get the chance - dance!
I hope you'll always choose to dance!
