A prayer from the pen of Donald Deffner:
Lord give me the courage
the heavenly medicine
to sing
when I am in the prison
of depression
as the apostles did
in jail
To laugh
at the demons within me
knowing You
reign supreme
in the throne room
of my heart
To be thankful
at all times
knowing You
are in control
Christ in me.
