A Plott Hunters Prayer

Eternal Heavenly Father, dawn begins to break and soon

I will realease my Brindle dogs to hunt another day.

I earnestly plead for thy presence within my heart as well

as within the hearts of those who accompany me.

May Thy overwhelming glory be seen in the mountains

and streams I traverse; may I acknowledge Thy being in

the crisp air I breath; may I know Thy awesomeness in

the towering trees of Thy handiwork; may I witness Thy

magnificence in the wild things I pursue.

Lord, I pray for safety today- for my comapanions, both

man and dog. Be with them Lord.

Guide and preserve me as I go about my tasks. May a

spirit of fairness and honesty envelpoe me;and, at the

end of successful hunt, if I need not, may I find peace in

leaving my game safe and unharmed to run another day, that

on the day I may need it, it may be there if it be your will.

Almighty God, I thank you for the pleasures and

blessings of hunting, knowing that you are the Author

of all good, clean and pure things. Lord many times

I have not acknowledged Thy loving generosity. I have

taken for granted the joy and innocence of little puppies,

the achievments of a prized and trusted dog, the curiosity

of my children, the understanding of my family, and the

beauty and glory of nature.

Your Sun is topping the mountains now, Lord My Plotts are

on the ground. I know that Thou art with me. I feel Thy

soothing love. Thank you blessed Lord Jesus for the coming

joy of this, thy day.

AMEN
