PRAYER OF TRUST
"Be careful for nothing; but in every thing by prayer and supplication with thanksgiving let your requests be made known unto God. And the peace of God, which passeth all understanding, shall keep your hearts and minds through Christ Jesus." Philippians 4:6-7 of the King James Version
Prayer delight revives my heart...
such mirrors daily triumphant start
asking divine help in life’s race…
Lord, keep me trusting You always.
Knowing that God fulfills soul's need
especially redemption indeed
granting eternal life as gift...
Lord, let me mirror Your love's uplift.
Begging for peace caused by guilt’s noise
pardon, too, for soul’s humbling poise
seeking grace with mirrored favour…
Lord, give me revival-fervour.
Concerns looking toward bright hope
beg for wisdom so as to cope
mirroring guidance for best choice…
Lord, uphold me upon right poise.
“Pray without ceasing!” That’s my aim
Pleading well in Jesus Christ’s name
Though I can't mirror heaven's force…
Lord, bless me; You're my very source.

"You are a volume in the divine book. A mirror to the power that created the universe. Whatever you want, ask it of yourself. Whatever you're looking for can only be found inside of you." Rumi
