When I arise to kiss the sun,
Before my day has e'er begun
I find a place of solitude
Where I express my gratitude.
I steal away alone in prayer,
A quiet place where God is there,
For I dare not face my day anew
Until I've breathed a prayer for you.
I ask God to please linger near,
To heal each hurt and dry each tear,
For wisdom in decisions made,
For peace when storms your soul invade.
I plead that all your plans succeed,
That He will meet your ev'ry need
And make provision of His grace
To guide you through each day you face.
You're not alone for God is there;
I know because God answers prayer.
So as you face your day anew,
Be mindful of my prayer for you.

With the exception of 1 year living in Boston, Mass.,and two years in Hanau, Germany, I have lived in the historic state of Virginia all my life. I now reside in the beautiful Roanoke Valley. Though raised in a Christian home, I was in my early 20’s before making a commitment of my life to Christ. Since then I have spent many years in full-time ministry. I am currently employed as an accountant with a Christian child care center in Roanoke and also serve as the Office Manager and Scheduling Coordinator for singer and songwriter Mary Rice Hopkins who resides in California.
