Reflect on the needs of your soul -->

a prayer for morning, noon, and night

a prayer for morning, noon, and night

Compassionate Lord,

Thy mercies have brought me to the dawn of another day,

Vain will be its gift unless I grow in grace,

increase in knowledge,

ripen for spiritual harvest.

Let me this day know thee as thou art,

love thee supremely,

serve thee wholly,

admire thee fully.

Through grace let my will respond to thee,

Knowing that the power to obey is not in me, but that thy free love alone enables me to serve thee.

(excerpt from The Valley of Vision)

 

***

I grew up on King James Version Bible verses, memorized in that Old English style.  And now I read many versions and interpretations, appreciating the value of each.

But, there’s just something about it that still moves me…

Today, I’m choosing one verb phrase from the bolded list above :: one to give focus this morning, noon and night making up my day.  Grow. Grow in Grace.

May I use time, words, energy and attitude in developing greater capacity for,

becoming, maturing, growing

more and more in grace.

 

{Maybe you’d like to do the same?  As you read prayer words, did one verb phrase stand out…calling you by name?  Choose one :: welcoming His enabling love to assist in the living it out.  Today.}
