Inspirational Poem

I got up early one morning
And rushed right into the day
I had so much to accomplish
That I didn’t have time to pray.

Problems just tumbled about me
And heavier came each task
“Why doesn’t God help me?” I wondered
He answered, “You didn’t ask.”

I wanted to see joy and beauty
But the day toiled on, grey and bleak
I wondered why God didn’t show me
He said, “But you didn’t seek.”

I tried to come into God’s presence
I used all my keys at the lock
God gently and lovingly chided
“My child, you didn’t knock.”

I woke up early this morning
And paused before entering the day
I had so much to accomplish
That I had to take time to pray.

A SIMPLE PRAYER

Oh Lord, what simple prayers we pray,

Giving You thanks and glory every day.

Our prayers like misty clouds ascend,

Seeking wisdom at each days end.

May our prayers be worthy in Your precious sight

As we struggle daily to do what is right.

Many we never give in to deep despair

As You hear oh Lord, our simple prayer.

~~Shirley H. Powell~~

Sweet Release

Dear Lord I thank Thee for this day

And for Thy tender care

I come to Thee on bended knee

And call to Thee in prayer.

Dear Lord I thank Thee for this day

And for my gracious friends;

I look around at those I love

With joy that never ends.

Dear Lord I thank Thee for this day;

Come fill me with Thy peace;

Oh, hold me in Thy gentle hand,

And grant me sweet release.

~~~~Hope C. Oberhelman~~~~~

POEM

Remember That God Cares

When tempest-tossed and full of hurt

And life is hard to bear;

When nothing seems to satisfy,

Remember that God cares.

When you’re fed up with life itself-

Yes, of the whole affair –

When feeling sad an unworthy,

Remember that God cares.

Reach out when it is hardest to,

When you want to give up,

For that’s the time you need Him most,

When heartache fills your cup

He will never leave you comfortless,

We’re promised in His word,

So don’t hesitate to seek Him –

His help you are ensured.

And when the time comes once again

That sunshine fills your days,

Give thanks to Him who helped you through

And sent those golden rays.

~~Denise A DeWald~~

Thank You God for Everything

Thank you for the golden days’

When life is free from strain.

Thank you for the darker days

That have a thread of pain.

For all the pain you give to me

Makes me kneel in prayer

To You who made the universe

And know my every care.

I find that when I bend the knee,

It’s then my will bends too,

To Your great will that knows what’s best

And cares if dreams come true.

When my will is in tune with Yours,

My life becomes a song

That’s sung in two-part harmony

And angels sing along.

Margaret Peterson

Let me be a little kinder,
Let me be a little blinder
To the faults of those around me,
Let me praise a little more;
Let me be, when I am weary
Just a little bit more cheery,
Let me serve a little better
Those that I am striving for.

Let me be a little braver
When temptation bids me waver,
Let me strive a little harder
To be all that I should be;
Let me be a little meeker
With the brother that is weaker,
Let me think more of my neighbor
And a little less of me.

Let me be a little sweeter,
Make my life a bit completer
By doing what I should do
Every minute of the day;
Let me toil, without complaining,
Not a humble task disdaining,
Let me face the summons calmly
When death beckons me away.
