Through every minute of this day, Be with me, Lord! Through every day of all this week, Be with me, Lord! Through every week of all this year, Be with me, Lord! Through all the years of all this life, Be with me, Lord! So shall the days and weeks and years Be threaded on a golden cord, And all…
Lord, why did you tell me to love all humanity, my brothers and sisters? I have tried, but I come back to you, frightened… Lord, I was so peaceful at home, I was so comfortably settled. It was well furnished, and I felt cozy. I was at peace. Sheltered from the wind, the rain, the mud. I would have stayed…
Do not be disturbed or frightened, Everything passes, but God stays. Patience goes beyond all things. The one who has God, lacks nothing. God alone is enough. Lift your thinking, raise it up to heaven, Let nothing anguish you, let nothing disturb you. Follow Jesus Christ with an open heart, and no matter what may come, you need not fear.…
Thank you, my Creator and God, for giving me such a delight in your universe, this ecstasy when I look at your handiwork. As far as my finite sprit has been able to comprehend, I have shared with others the glory of your works and your infinity. If anything I have said misrepresents you, of if at any time I…

Psalm 27:7–14 Hear my voice when I call, Lord; be merciful to me and answer me. My heart says of you, “Seek his face!” Your face, Lord, I will seek. Do not hide your face from me, do not turn your servant away in anger; you have been my helper. Do not reject me or forsake me, God my Saviour.…
Look, Lord, on an empty vessel that needs to be filled. In faith I am weak – strengthen me. In love I am cold – warm me and make me passionate so that my love may go out to my neighbour. I doubt and am unable to trust you completely. Lord, strengthen my faith and trust in you. You are all…
God you are my God, I seek your face at dawn, my soul is thirsting for you, my body is pining for you, parched ground, waterless and dry. In the Sanctuary I long to adore you, To behold your glory and power. Your love is better than life, my lips will proclaim your praise, all my life I would…
All that I am Lord, I place into Your hands. Everything I work for, I place into your hands. Everything I hope for, I place into your hands. The troubles that weary me I place into your hands. The thoughts that disturb me I place into your hands. Show me what blessing it is That I have work to do.…
