When fears and worries overwhelm
then give me courage, Lord,
to "keep it in today..."
When darkness tempts and beckons me
then draw me to the light.
let your face shine bright upon me...
When easy answers seem enough
then lead me to your word
that in your truth I'll be set free...
When angry grudges weigh me down
then teach me to forgive
as you have pardoned me...
When gossip's brewing in my thoughts
then bless my speech with kindness,
put your word upon my lips...
When my heart grows green with envy
then let me see how much is mine
of all you've freely given...
When I'm discerning right from wrong
then give me wisdom, Lord,
to choose as you would do...
When time for me is all I have
then open me to others, Lord,
to serve you in their needs...
When I've run out of words to pray,
then help me listen, Lord
to hear what you would say to me...
And when all is said and done, Lord
then let all I say and all I do
be gentle, just and loving...
Amen.
As always, thank you for saying just what I need to hear and pray. Gwen Erwin
