Servant Of God

Regard your servant's prayer and his plea, O Lord, my God, heeding the cry and prayer that your servant prays to You today. (1 Kings 8:28 (NRSV), Daily Guideposts - 2011, 27 October) 31 October 2012

Hell To Pay

Sense Of Proportion

God grant me the sense of proportion to judge the difference between an incident and a crisis. (One Day At A Time In Al-Anon, 19 October) 27 October 2012

God Knows

... God knows what we need.
So we don't pray to God to remind him, we pray to God to remind ourselves.
The essence of prayer is choice.
Prayers help us refine and affirm what it is we want out of our lives.
God desires our growth as human beings.
Like any good parent, he doesn't spoil us by giving us what we want on a silver platter.
(Rabbi Irwin Katsof, co-author of Powerful Prayers with Larry King, p. 164)

Dying Leaves

Fill us with hope, Lord, trusting that

the dying leaves on earth's cold floor

will resurrect and green the trees once more.
