Single Person's Prayer

In the summer of 2012, my friend Andrea (also a single person) wen to Banbury England. She brought back this postcard with a beautiful prayer. It was designed by Noreen Littleton, a member of the Guild of Gloucestershire Craftsmen, England. I don't know if Noreen wrote the prayer or did the calligraphy or both, but I love it all and need to pray it more often.
