        A Hunter’s Prayer

        0 Lord, I am a hunter
        And life I seek to take
        But let me not attempt the shot
        Beyond my skill to make
        For Lord they are your creatures
        Given for our use
        But each one falls within your sight
        They’re not for our abuse
        And when I loose my arrow
        Please guide it swift and true
        Or let it miss completely, Lord
        That pain be not undue
        A clean kill or no kill, Lord
        Such is my heart’s desire
        Give me the skill to make it so
        Or let me hold my fire
        And when my time upon this earth
        The days they are fulfilled
        Grant that I may die at least
        As clean as those I killed

            Those words should be in the heart of every hunter.

            Thanks Steve

                      I say something close to that not as nice but the same meaning every time I get into my stand.

                          Very Good! Can’t understand why those who hunt, never see God in nature.
                          They just are not looking.

                            Beautiful. We have to remember that we are stewards of His creation. Each thing that we take from it is a gift, not a personal accomplishment, but an example of God’s grace and provision for His people. Thanks for sharing that Steve, we should all keep those words in our hearts.
