Thursday Thoughts on Life's Cares...and Prayer

Care

Can carve a stair

To whole new

Hollows of despair

There would be

No way to free

Us from it

Without prayer

***

Prayer

Is like a life-line

Or buoy to

Which we cling

Lest we become

A victim of

The care that

Life can bring

***

Care and prayer

A union of

The Temporal

And the Sure

One supplies

The other with

The Power

To endure

***

Do you bear

A load of care?

Place it in

A word of prayer

 ***

Prayer

Is a stair

To the

Ear of God 

Each care,

A stepping-stone

For without care

We soon would dare

To try to walk

Alone

***

Some prayers are shaped into words

and easy then, to hear

But some prayers have no sound at all

and fall in silent tear

***

God made a way for us to bear

Life's care that seems, must be

He gave us prayer; through it He shares

And cares for you and me

***

Prayer is not some dire last-resort,

When-all-else-fails-we'll-take-it

Prayer is the place that we should start

Then, by-God's-grace-we'll-make-it

Janet~ 

It's been an 'a-lot-of-prayer' week'.

One of the stresses; a lost wallet far from home!!

Yesterday my daughter received

in the mail

her wallet, intact.

She lost it on the week-end in Old Montreal.

The lady that returned it included a hand-written letter

telling her how she found it and to let her know it was in good hands.

We have asked God to specially bless her for her kindness!

We are so grateful.

God bless you, Louise!

 Do not be anxious about anything, but in every situation, by prayer and petition, with thanksgiving, present your requests to God. 

And the peace of God, which transcends all understanding, will guard your hearts and your minds in Christ Jesus. 

Phil.4:6-7
