Hello ,

I stumbled across some hymn lyrics recently that stopped me in my tracks. I'd like to challenge you to STOP what you are doing right now for the next 5 minutes, and contemplate the words of this song. Take out your Bible after reading it, and see if you can find some scripture that these song lyrics remind you of. I hope you'll be as blessed as I was!

At first I prayed for light:

Could I but see the way,

How gladly, swiftly would I walk

To everlasting day!

And next I prayed for strength:

That I might tread the road

With firm, unfaltering feet, and win

The heaven's serene abode.

And then I asked for faith:

Could I but trust my God,

I'd live infolded in His peace,

Though foes were all abroad.

But now I pray for love:

Deep love to God and man;

A living love that will not fail,

However dark His plan.

And strength and love and faith

Are opening everywhere!

God waited patiently until

I prayed the larger prayer.

-Mrs. E.D. Cheney

Have a great day and God bless!
