A Prayer


Prov.22:1-2&4
A good name is to be chosen rather than great riches,
Loving favor rather than silver and gold.

The rich and the poor have this in common,
The Lord is the maker of them all.

By humility and the fear of the Lord
Are riches and honor and life.


A Prayer to begin this blistery, blustery day in Ontario.
Hold onto your hats!




Open the eyes of my heart, Lord to riches money cannot buy
To wealth the world cannot afford, and lucre cannot satisfy 

Grant me the pleasures of the soul, not flaunted before mortal gaze
But in fond happiness made whole through contentment to sing Thy praise

Mold me through life's hardships with grace to help me trust and thus rejoice
Hold me in Thy nail scarred embrace; open my heart to hear Thy voice

Let the desires of my heart be fashioned by faith, hope and love
Fulfilled with riches You impart and the world can know nothing of

In Jesus' Name I pray
Amen

Janet Martin

Oh may I learn to truly pray like the apostle Paul...

Not that I speak in respect of want;
for I have learned in whatsoever state I am
therewith to be content.
Phil.4:11
