When I received this email from my school alumni, I knew I had to share this with my blog readers. It made me realize how much we come to rely on our email and mobile phones; more so the addresses contained in these. I never once thought to ask that God bless these friends of mine and today, after reading this email, I feel the guilt.

Dear Lord,
Every single evening

As I'm lying here in bed,

This tiny little Prayer Keeps running through my head:

God bless all my family

Wherever they may be,

Keep them warm

And safe from harm

For they're so close to me.

And God, there is one more thing I wish that you could do;

Hope you don't mind me asking,

Please bless my computer too.

Now I know that it's unusual

To Bless a motherboard,

But listen just a second

While I explain it to you, Lord.

You see, that little metal box

Holds more than odds and ends;

Inside those small compartments

Rest so many of my friends.

I know so much about them

By the kindness that they give,

And this little scrap of metal

Takes me in to where they live.

By faith is how I know them Much the same as you.

We share in what life brings us And from that our friendships grew.

Please take an extra minute From your duties up above,

To bless those in my address book

That's filled with so much love.

Wherever else this prayer may reach

To each and every friend,

Bless each e-mail inbox And each person who hits 'send'.

When you update your Heavenly list On your own Great CD-ROM,

Bless everyone who says this prayer Sent up to GOD.com

Amen
