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

(((chocolatelover))) Thank you for sharing. I hope these little poems and sayings give encourgement and strength to those who read them.

THOUGHT FOR THE DAY:

"The Lord shall preserve thy going out and thy coming in, from this time forth and even forever more." All your movements, your goings and your comings can be guided by the Unseen Spirit. Every visit to help another, every unselfish effort to assist, can be blessed by that Unseen Spirit. There can be a blessing on all you do, on every interview with one who is suffering. Every meeting of a need may not be a chance meeting, but it may have been planned by the Unseen Spirit. Led by the spirit of the Lord, you can be tolerant, sympathetic, and understanding of others and so accomplish much.

Prayer:
I pray that I may be led by the spirit of God. I pray that the Lord will preserve my goings and my comings.

THOUGHT FOR THE DAY:

The Unseen God can help to make us truly grateful and humble. Since we cannot see God, we must believe in Him without seeing. What we can see clearly is the change in a human being, when he sincerely asks God for the strength to change. We should cling to faith in God and in His power to change our ways. Our faith in an Unseen God will be rewarded by a useful and serviceable life. God will not fail to show us the way we should live, when in real gratitude and true humility we turn to Him.

Prayer:
I pray that I may believe that God can change me. I pray that I may be always willing to be changed for the better.

Because He lives, I can face tomorrow,
Because He lives, all fear is gone;
Because I know He holds the future,
And life is worth the living,
Just because He lives!

Thank you so much for your wonderfully sweet words. I am glad I can help by brightening your day.

When through life's darkened maze I go
And troubles overwhem my soul;
Oh, grant me, Lord, the faith to know
That You are always in control.

Some people follow Jesus Christ,
Then obstacles get in their way;
But if they'll focus on the Lord,
They won't be led astray.

I prayed: the answer long deferred
Brought not the thing I sought;
He answered better than my plea,
Yes, better than my thought.

Think not alone of outward form;
Its beauty will depart;
But cultivate the Spirit's fruits
That grow within the heart.

This thought is so Very True if we but listen and watch. God's plan is always so much better than ours is. His love and wisdom are limitless while we only see a very narrow, dark part of our lives.

Oh, give Thine own sweet rest to me
That I may speak with soothing power
A word in season, as from Thee,
To everyone in needful hour.

God cannot prosper those who try
To cover sin and wrong deny;
But all who humbly will confess,
The Savior with His love will bless.

"We love You, Lord Jesus," we often say,
But are we ready His will to obey?
Let's heed what God's Spirit would have us do,
For that's how we show Him a love that is true.

Our strength and hope are in the Lord---
We rest secure in His sure Word;
And though we're tempted to despair,
We know we're kept within His care.

Let the joy of the Lord be your strength---
May His peace fill your heart day and night;
As you walk with the Lord in the light of His Word,
You will find that He'll lead you aright.

GIVE ME A FAITH
by Garnett Ann Schultz

Give me a faith that I might keep
However dark the day,
That I might know that all is well
Though weary be my way.
Give me a hope to fill my heart
To make each day worthwhile,
A way to ease a troubled mind
And teach me how to smile.

Give me an understanding soul
That knows a peace surpreme,
A quietness at close of day,
A treasured worthwhile dream;
A guiding hand that I may lend
That others might see
And find the same in peaceful bliss
That life has given me.

Give me tomarrow, full and bright,
A worthwhile task to do;
Fill my todays with endless chores
And make each gray sky blue.
Help to believe that all is well
Though troubles too may come,
Just let me know that not far off
My heart shall find the sun.

Give me a faith that never dies
That I might find my way,
Eagerly waiting tomarrow's dreams,
Forgetting each yesterday.
Life with its troubles, life with its cares,
These I can take I know........
Give me a faith that shall last through all,
A faith that will live and grow.

I want the love that always sweetly bears
Whate'er my Father's hand may choose to send;
I want the love that patiently endures
The wrongs that come from enemy or friend.

"A kind of love that sweetly bears."

Yes, Lord!

THOUGHT FOR THE DAY:

Breathe in the inspiration of goodness and truth. It is the spirit of honesty, purity, unselfishness and love. It is readily available if we are willing to accept it wholeheartedly. God has given us two things, His spirit and the power of choice--- to accept it or not, as we will. We have the gift of free will. When we choose the path of selfishness and greed and pride, we are refusing to accept God's spirit. When we choose the path of love and service, we accept God's spirit and it flows into us and makes things new.

Prayer:
I pray that I may give my share of love and service. I pray that I may not grow weary in my attempts to do the right thing by choosing God's way instead of my own way.

THOUGHT FOR THE DAY:

Happiness cannot be sought directly; it is a by-product of love and service. Service is a law of our being. With love in your heart, there is always some service to other people. A life of power and joy and satisfaction is built on love and service. Persons who hate or are selfish are going against the law of their own being. They are cutting themselves off from God and other people. Little acts of love and encouragement, of service and help, erase the rough places of life and help to make the path smooth. If we do these things, we cannot help having our share of happiness.

Prayer:
I pray that I may be willing to go out of my way to help others, and in turn receive many blessings of joy and happiness in my life and in the lives of others.
