(Lk 11:1b)   Well Lord God, here I am, believing in you, trusting in Jesus, knowing that you sent your Spirit to connect us. But sometimes the signal seems weak, As though I’ve wandered out of range.   Lord, I want to grow closer, to hear your voice and know your guidance in the nitty-gritty...

Take, Lord, and receive all my freedom, my memory, my intelligence and my will – all that I have and possess. You, Lord, have given those things to me. I now give them back to you, Lord. All belongs to you. Dispose of these gifts according to your will. I ask only for your love...

The robin sang, the flowers bloomed all nature played its part, The only discord in this scene was man’s reluctant heart. The Creator’s manual he ignored so a path of pain he trod, Thinking that he knew the best man turned away from God.   The mess we’re in has been self-made, all answers lie...

Fair is her foot and smooth is her hand, And graceful her form upon the strand, Winsome her voice and gentle her speech, Stately her mien on the ocean beach, Warm doth she look, and mild is her face, While swelleth her lovely breast of grace Like black-headed seagull up and down On the gently...

You have been speaking to me, Lord, about my children and grand-child.  You loaned them to me for a season.  Now I am to take my possessive, managing hands off – strictly off.  You will perfect them in your way and in your timing.  Years ago, you began this work. It is your business to...

Checking all the wires are plugged in, Running gremlins down to ground. 1,2,3 – that mike is working! No more faults there to be found! Have you seen that desk he/she uses? Sliders, switches, buttons, knobs; Looks...

(John12:1-8)   Martha welcomed and worked hard And worried about so many things, Especially that Mary didn’t.   Lazarus lived again and found fame, And shared supper with the guest Who called him from the grave.   But Mary… Mary listened and sat at His feet, And filled the house with fragrance In anointing Him....

Forgive us, Lord, that as we grow to maturity, our faith is blighted with doubts, withered with worry, tainted with sophistication.  We pray that you will make us like children again in faith – not childish, but childlike in the simplicity of a faith that is willing to trust you even though we cannot see...

Martha cooked But Mary looked And sat at the Master’s feet, It’s a story of old But we are told It’s where man and God can meet. So much to do But think it through There’s a place for you and me, To spend time with the Lord And be found in His word It’s...

Peter knelt upon a roof – He’d gone up there to pray; He’d gone to seek his Father’s face In the middle of the day. He saw a sheet of dodgy food And heard an angel say, “I know you’re hungry, Peter, so Come, eat your fill today!”   But Peter gazed with horror at...
