Neliswa's Prayer

Neliswa attends our weekly Friday afternoon orphan support group. She wants to be a writer. This is her prayer:


Was I born to suffer?
Was I born to be abused?
No! God had a purpose.
I’m here to fulfill that purpose.
I’m here to praise God
I’m here to stay.

God I hope all the people,
Women and children who suffer
From abuse to be free.

Lord I pray to through all the world
From sunrise to sunset God to
Let us free; let us live God.
Lord as your child please
Lord help us from Cape to Cairo
God let the world know who you are

I pray Lord, ploughing my knees
For you God to help me.
In the name of the Holy God
Amen and Amen! -Neliswa
