Monday Morning Mantra/Supplication





This poem is raised to the Creator and Keeper of heaven and earth...



Lord, today lead love’s mission
And guard our flight of thought
Let hope not lose its vision
No matter what our lot
Help us weigh ‘good intention'
In the scale of Thy Word
Lest foibles of invention
Would leave discernment blurred

Lord, guide us through the meadows
Or valleys dark with test
Let us not hide in shadows
Of guilt and shame confessed
But beam through us Thy light, Lord
For all the world to see
And train our faith, not sight Lord
To meekly wait on Thee

Lord, kind Thy love that watches
Our blind and worried ways
Lord, while impatience pushes
You wait for our praise
To temper in pride’s bearing
A heart of gratitude
To prove Thy faithful caring
As self-will is subdued

Lord, let us cling like children
To Mercy’s nail-scarred Hand
And trust Divine Decision
When we don’t understand
Lord, keen Thy whisper in us
Until first impulse bows
And trusts Thee for the purpose
In what Thy love allows

Amen

Humble yourselves, therefore, under God’s mighty hand,
so that in due time He may exalt you.
 Cast all your anxiety on Him, because He cares for you.

1 Peter 5:6-7
