Pray For Your Brother

I bowed my head as always
to say the prayer I knew.
And even though my heart ached
I said my same prayer through.

I thanked God for my blessings
and prayed for every friend.
I told God that I loved Him
and thought my prayer would end.

But somewhere deep within me
a voice so gently said,
There's something more to settle
before you go to bed.

Now, what about your brother
that caused your grief today?
You did not even ask Me
to help him know the way.

I heard his words of anger
I saw his unkind deed.
Return to him a blessing -
your brother is in need.

For he sees not so clearly;
he needs a guiding light.
So, don't forget your brother -
he needs your prayer tonight
