A young mother, Jen, shared with me a poem written by her great-grandmother and passed down to her. I shared it as the benediction for our Sunday worship services yesterday. It was obvious to see that the "poem to pray" deeply touched everyone present. Pray it with me now:
Guidance
Help us Lord in this depressing time.
To live and be wholly Thine.
To lead us by Thy guiding hand,
Through all the unrest of this land.
May we trust Thee as our friend, When us to Thy will doth bend.
Fill us with Thy love so great,
That leaves no room for strife or hat,
That we will serve Thee with our hearts,
And never from Thy ways depart.
Give us wisdom that we know,
How to deal with friend or foe.
Then let us serve thee in Thy way,
Se we can face Thee on that day.
Help us not Thy work to shun,
But hear Thee say, "Well done,"
And, we, through they matchless love,
Will then receive a crown above.
-- Mrs. W.L. Zembower
Deo Volente -- Whatever God Wants!
Grateful
