“Forbid that I should walk through Thy beautiful world with unseeing eyes; Forbid that the lure of the market-place should ever entirely steal my heart away from the love of the open acres and the green trees; Forbid that under the low roof of workshop or office or study I should ever forget Thy great overarching sky: Forbid that when all Thy creatures are greeting the morning with songs and shouts of joy, I alone should wear a dull and sullen face.” JoyWonderBeautyAwe Book:A diary of private prayer Source: A diary of private prayer
“Dear Father, take this days life into Thine own keeping. Control all my thoughts and feelings. Direct all my energies. Instruct my mind. Sustain my will. Take my hands and make them skilful to serve Thee. Take my feet and make them swift to do Thy bidding. Take my eyes and keep them fixed upon Thine everlasting beauty. Take my mouth and make it eloquent in testimony to Thy love. Make this day a day of obedience, a day of spiritual joy and peace. Make this days work a little part of the work of the Kingdom of my Lord Christ, in whose name these my prayers are said. Amen.” MindLittlesSaidFeelingsHandsEyeSpiritualJoyFatherNamesEnergyChristPrayerLordFeetMouthsDirectDearKingdomsTheeObedienceFixedThis DayMy ThoughtsTestimonyEverlastingEloquentAmenThoughts And FeelingsDay LifeBiddingSpiritual JoyTake My Hand Book:A diary of private prayer Source: A diary of private prayer
