Pause for Prayer: TUESDAY 11/25

In today's gospel, Lord, you ask,
"Are not two sparrows sold for a small coin?
Yet not one of them falls to the ground
   without your Father's knowledge..." 

You know, you're familiar with, 
   every detail of my life, Lord:

 you notice things about me
   that totally escape my own attention 

and you hold everything about me
   gently, in your mind and heart...

 

You know and you hold close
   all my joys and sorrows, 
   my ups and downs,

   my joys and my grief,  
   my hopes and dreams,
   my regrets and disappointments...

You delight in my good works, Lord
   and you pledge your grace
      to help me grow, day by day...

You see my life as a work in progress
   and coach my efforts to reach my goals,

    drawing ever closer to you...

 

My failures are, 
   are in your view, Lord,
      steps on my way to victory...

 

In your eyes, Lord, my life's worth more 

    than many sparrows:
help me not forget or doubt:     

    this how you love me...

 

Amen. 

 

His Eye Is On The Sparrow

Why should I feel discouraged
Why should the shadows come
Why should my heart feel lonely
And long for heaven and home
When Jesus is my portion
A constant friend is he
His eye is on the sparrow
And I know he watches over me

His eye is on the sparrow
And I know he watches me

I sing because I'm happy
I sing because I'm free
His eye is on the sparrow
And I know he watches me

His eye is on the sparrow
And I know he watches me…

I sing because I´m happy
I sing because I´m free
His eye is on the sparrow
And I know he watches me

His eye is on the sparrow
And I know he watches me

He watches me
I know
He watches
Me
