Little Prayer Poems To Give you Strength To Face Another Day.

Holy Spirit, we would hear
Your inner promptings, soft and clear;
And help us hear the still, small voice
So we may make God's will our choice.

Help me, Lord, to reassure and strengthen
Others by the words I speak today;
I would always try to be affirming,
As our pathways cross along life's way.

The Lord of hosts my Shepherd is---
O sweet these words to me;
And Thou, dear Lamb, will be my Guide
Throughout eternity.

In our shattered times, anguish relents
Not at mere idle words spoken in vain,
But rather from the silent eloquence
Bestowed by those rare souls who share our pain.

God's Word is like refreshing rain
That waters crop and seed;
It brings new life to open hearts,
And meets us in our need.

(((everyone)))
I love these.

The Bible stands, and it will forever
When the world has passed away;
By inspiration it has been given---
All its precepts I will obey.

There's so much wisdom to be learned,
So many ways for me to grow,
Lord, I would listen like a child,
And learn what You would have me know.

When you're facing a decision
And it seems a daunting task,
Trust the Lord for true discernment--
He'll give wisdom if you ask.

MY GOD IS NO STRANGER
by Helen Steiner Rice

God is no stranger in a faraway place,
He's as close as the wind that blows cross my face,
It's true I can't see the wind as it blows
But I feel it around me and my heart surely knows
That God's mighty Hand can be felt every minute
For there is nothing on earth that God isn't in it---
The sky and the stars, the waves and the sea,
The dew on the grass, the leaves on a tree
Are constant reminders of God and His nearness,
Proclaiming His Presence with crystal-like clearness--
So, how could I think God was far, far away
When I feel Him beside me every hour of the day,
And I've plenty of reasons to know God's My Friend
And this is one Friendship that time cannot end.

True fellowship is close communion with one another and God;
It is carrying a brother's load, lifting his burden.
It is loving one another without condition,
It is forgiving the unforgiveable.
It is stopping to bind the wounds of the afflicted,
It is taking time to cry with the broken-hearted.
It is clothing the naked, visiting the imprisoned, and rejoicing with the fortunate.
"Beloved, we are God's children now." 1John 3:2

HIS LOVE..... REACHING
by Gloria Gaither

Right from the begining God's love has reached out to us, and from the begining man has refused to understand.
But love went on reaching, offering itself.
Love offered the eternal......we wanted the immediate.
Love offered deep joy..........we wanted thrills.
Love offered freedom.........we wanted license.
Love offered communion with God Himself......we wanted to worship at the shine of our own minds.
Love offered peace.............we wanted approval for our wars.
Love went on reaching. Even after two thousand years, Christ is reaching out to us today. He is reaching.....longing to share with us....the very being of God. The Word of the Father became Mary's little Son. And His love reached all the way to where we are right now.

If I have but Jesus, only Jesus---
Nothing else in all the world beside---
O then everything is mine in Jesus;
For my needs and more He will provide.

Fill Thou my life, O Lord my God,
In every part with praise,
That my whole being may proclaim
Thy being and Thy ways.
