Isaac Watts - My Shepherd

My Shepherd, you supply my need,

most holy is your name;

in pastures fresh you make me feed,

beside the living stream.

You bring my wand'ring spirit back.

when I forsake your ways;

you lead me, for your mercy's sake,

in paths of truth and grace.

When through the shades of death I walk,

your presence is my stay;

one word of your supporting breath

drives all my fears away.

Your hand in sight of all my foes,

does still my table spread;

my cup with Blessings overflows,

your oil anoints my head.

Your sure provisions gracious God

attend me all my days;

oh, may your house be my abode,

and all my work be praise.

Here would I find a settled rest,

while others go and come;

no more a stranger, nor a guest,

but like a child at home.

Henry W. Frost - Prayer and Praise

Nothing so pleases God in connection 

with our prayer as our praise, 

 and nothing so blesses the man who prays

 as the praise which he offers. 

 ~Henry Frost

 

Lamentations 3:22-23

The faithful love of the Lord never ends!

His mercies never cease.

Great is His faithfulness;

His mercies begin afresh each morning.

Whisper A Prayer

WHISPER A PRAYER 

by

Traditional Hymn - Unknown Author

Whisper a pray’er in the morning,

Whisper a pray’r at noon;

Whisper a pray’r in the ev’ning,

To keep your heart in tune.

God answers pray’r in the morning,

God answers pray’r at noon;

God answers pray’r in the ev’ning,

To keep your heart in tune.

Jesus may come in the morning,

Jesus may come at noon;

Jesus may come in the ev’ning,

So keep your heart in tune.

 

Luke 12:25-26

Can all your worries add a single moment to your life?

And if worry can't accomplish a little thing

like that, what's the use of worrying over bigger things?

~Luke 12:25-26

 

Albert Schweitzer - Kindness

The sun makes ice melt; kindness causes misunderstanding,

mistrust, and hostility to evaporate. 

~~Albert Schweitzer

 

Antony of Padua - Loveliness

If things created are 

so full of loveliness, 

how resplendent with beauty 

must be he who made them! 

The wisdom of the Worker 

is apparent in His handiwork.

To God the Father, God the Son,
