A Bowhunter's Prayer

[Shooter09]

O 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 on 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 may not be undue
A clean kill or no kill, Lord
Such is my hearts 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

Excellent prayer, one every hunter should live by.

AMEN!

Love it.

 

[Huntin4Elk]

Great prayer! One that I will definitely use before my hunts, and something more people should incorporate/live by!
