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

THOUGHT FOR THE DAY:

We need to accept the difficuties and disciplines of life so as to fully share the common life of other people. Many things that we must accept in life are not to be taken so much as being necessary for us personally, as to be experieneced in order that we may share in the suffering and problems of humanity. We need sympathy and understanding. We must share many of the experiences of life, in order to understand and sympathize with others. Unless we have been through the same experiences, we cannot understand other people or their makeup well enough to be able to help them.

Prayer:
I pray that I may accept everything that comes my way as a part of life. I pray that I may make use of it in helping other people.

THOUGHT FOR THE DAY:

"In quietness and confidence shall be your strength." Confidence means to have faith in something. We could not live without confidence in others. When you have confidence in God's grace, you can face whatever comes. When you have confidence in God's love, you can be serene and at peace. You can rest in the faith that God will take care of you. Try to rest in God's presence until His love flows through you. Be still and in that stillness the still, small Voice will come. It speaks in quietness to the human mind that is attuned to its influence.

Prayer:
I pray that I may find strength today in quietness. I pray that I may be content today that God will take care of me.

THOUGHT FOR THE DAY:

You must be, before you can do. To accomplish much, be much. In all cases, the doing must be the expression of the being. It is foolish to think that we can accomplish much in personal relationships, without first preparing ourselves by being honest, pure, unselfish and loving. We must choose the good and keep choosing it, before we are ready to be used by God to accomplish anything worth while. We will not be given the opportunities until we are ready for them. Quiet times of communion with God, are good preparation for creative action.

Prayer:
I pray that I may constantly prepare myself for better things to come. I pray that I may only have opportunities when I am ready for them.

THOUGHT FOR THE DAY:

I must overcome myself before I can truly forgive other people for injuries done to me. The self in me cannot forgive injuries. The very thought of wrongs means that my self is in the foreground. Since the self cannot forgive, I must overcome my selfishness. I must cease trying to forgive those who fretted and wronged me. It is a mistake for me even to think about these injuries. I must aim at overcoming myself in my daily life and then I will find there is nothing in me that remembers injury, because the only thing injured, my selfishness, is gone.

Prayer:
I pray that I may hold no resentments. I pray that my mind may be washed clean of all past hates and fears.

I have been through the valley of weeping,
The valley of sorrow and pain;
But the God of all comfort was with me,
At hand to uphold and sustain.

Guide me, O Thou great Jehovah,
Pilgrim through this barren land;
I am weak, but Thou art mighty,
Hold me with Thy powerful hand.

Lord, help me not retaliate
When someone wants to pick a fight;
Instead, give me the strength and faith
To show Your love and do what's right.

Help us, Lord, to be a lifeline
To a dying world today,
Bringing hope to hopeless people,
Telling them that Christ's the way.

I need Thee every hour, most gracious Lord,
No tender voice like Thine can peace afford;
I need Thee, O I need Thee, every hour I need Thee.
O bless me now, my Savior, I come to Thee.

He knows our burdens and our crosses,
Those things that hurt, our trials and losses,
He cares for every soul that cries,
God wipes the tears from weeping eyes.

Trust in the Lord and do good,
so shalt thou dwellin the land
and verily thou shalt be fed
Delight thyself also in the Lord
and he shall give thee
the desires of thine heart.
Commit thy way unto the LORD
trust also in him
and he shall bring it to pass.

"I will strengthen," so take courage,
Child of God, so weak and frail,
God has said so, and it must be,
For His promise cannot fail.

Search the Scriptures' precious store---
As a miner digs for ore,
Search, and you will surely find
Treasures to enrich the mind.

You'll go forth a little stronger,
With a fresh supply of grace,
If each day you meet the Savior
In a secret, quiet place.

Give me, O Lord, a strong desire
To look within Your Word each day;
Help me to hide it in my heart,
Lest from its truth my feet would stray.

Lord and Savior, Christ divine,
Reign within this heart of mine:
May my witness ever be
Always, only, Lord for Thee.

Do a deed of simple kindness,
Through its end you may not see;
It may reach, like widening ripples,
Down a long eternity.

THREE THINGS IN LIFE

Three things in life that:

Once gone never come back:
1. Time
2. Words
3. Opportunity

That can destroy a person:
1. Anger
2. Pride
3. Unforgiveness

That you should never lose:
1. Hope
2. Peace
3. Honesty

That are the most valuable:
1. Love
2. Friends & Family
3. Kindness

That are never certain:
1. Fortune
2. Success
3. Dreams

That make a person:
1. Commitment
2. Sincerity
3. Hard Work

That are truly constant:
1. Father
2. Son
3. Holy Spirit

I ask the Lord to bless you, as I pray today. To guide you and protect you, as you go along your way. God's love is always with you, God's promises are true. And when you give God all your cares, you know he will see you through.

THOUGHT FOR THE DAY:

Never weary in prayer. When one day you see how unexpectedly your prayer has been answered, then you will deeply regret that you have prayed so little. Prayer changes things for you. Practice praying until your trust in God has become strong. And then pray on, because it has become so much a habit that you need it daily. Keep praying until prayer has become such a part of your daily life, that without it you would feel lost.

Prayer:
I pray that I may form the habit of daily prayer. I pray that I may find the strength I need, through daily asking forgivenness of my sins. And through prayer create a bond with God, that lasts all of the days in my life.

Just wanted to say 1oxbowgirl what a wonderful gift your posts have been for me to read each day. Thank you for taking the time to bless our world with your kindness and love.
