A Prayer For Those Who Live Alone and Feel Alone

I live alone, dear Lord,
Stay by my side.
In all my daily needs.
Be Thou my Guide.

Grant me good health.
For that indeed, I pray,
To carry on my work
From day to day.

Keep pure my mind,
My thoughts, my every deed.
Let me be kind, unselfish
In my neighbour’s need.

Spare me from fire, from flood,
Malicious tongues
From thieves, from fear,
And evil ones.

In sickness of
An accidental befall,
Then humbly, Lord, I pray,
Hear Thou my call.

And when I’m feeling low,
Or in despair,
Lift up my heart,
And help me in my prayer. 

I live alone, dear Lord,
Yet have no fear,
Because I feel Your presence
Ever near.  Amen.
