Blessed Time of Prayer
3-13-26
Dear Lord, make my heart more like Thine
Enhance my taste for things Divine.
Lift me up in Thy sweet grace
Close to Thy own Holy face.
Let all my frets and worries flee
As I pursue hard after Thee.
In the sacred place of prayer
Make Thyself known to me there.
Reward of the Faithful
How vast and amazing
Our God’s rich service reward
A cup of water in His name
Is not forgotten with our Lord!
If we, in earthly love
Good gifts on others bestow
How much more our heav’nly Father
Delights to bless our prayers below.
He’ll reward the faithful
In eternity to come;
His presence alone would suffice
In that bright and heavenly home.
The wicked’s awful pow’r
Spreads wide like the Green Bay tree,
But like a rushing, white-capped wave
He shall vanish as suddenly.
The wicked tread the just
But the Lord doth hear their cry,
One day He’ll return to earth
Reading the heavens and the sky
With God’s law in his heart
Sure-footed the Just shall stand
Though he fall he shall rise again
The Lord upholds him with His hand.
So don’t fret though this world—
Is cruel and unfair;
The just Judge will right every wrong
And safely keep those in His care.

Whether we like it or not
Each of us leaves a footprint
In the lives of those we touch
We don't know the full extent.
People will follow actions
More than they follow advice
You might make the poor choices
But they too, may pay the price.
You can say all the right things
Your words may point the Way,
But your walk talks the loudest
Does your life lead them astray?
Each of us leaves a footprint
We blaze a path on earth’s sod;
What will they find at trail's end
Eternal hellfire or God?

I am just the vessel, God is the Giver of all good things.
James 1:7.

Let’s show the world our love for God
Through our faithful obedience
We seek God’s delight, not man’s nod
We fellowship in His presence
Our prayer life will much richer be
With divine answers, joy, and praise
As we walk in humility
And do justly all our days,
How sweet then, our testimony
In trials or tranquility,
If our spirits rest in harmony
When we trust and obey only.
John 14:15
Written after reading 1 John—theme—love and obedience are joined like a loving couple walking hand in hand—neither one is complete without the other.
