How wonderful it is to walk with you
Along the road your holy servants trod;
How wonderful it is to hear you say:
Fear not, have faith, and let me lead the way.
(from a hymn by Theodore H. Kitching, revised and updated)
Here at the Cross
Here at the cross in this sacred hour,
Here at the source of reviving power,
Helpless indeed, I come with my need;
Lord, for Thy service, fit me I plead.
(from a hymn by Bramwell Coles).
Beauty and Comfort
For all the beauty and comfort I enjoy, I give you thanks, Lord God. For all the people in my life, for my bride, my children, my home, my friends, my possessions--spiritual, mental, emotional, material--for the years and days I have lived, for my victories and my disappointments, for all my worries that never happened and all my dreams that did, I give you thanks, in Jesus' name, amen.
Instead
Abba,
please make me
grateful instead of self-pitying,
optimistic instead of merely diligent,
energetic instead of so dreadfully weary,
in Jesus' name, amen.
Measure
Teach me God the economics of enough.
If in greed I ask too much of you.
If in fear I ask too little.
Measure daily my bread.
Amen.
