For my post yesterday, Love, I searched for posts with the word love. I rediscovered my Short Prayer Of Trust (October 2012 and January 2014).
Dear Lord,
Thank You for this day,
which You already know.
May I follow You each moment,
and trust You more,
and so rest as I work.
Thank You for your Love . . .
POEM
long winter night
many years
go through my mind
the decades deepen
trust in God
and my heart is at peace

Hear me when I call, O God of my righteousness:
thou hast enlarged me when I was in distress;
have mercy upon me, and hear my prayer.
Psalm 4: 1
Thanksgiving Complete
Father, I wish to praise You for the whole
of life. Besides these blessings obvious
and bright with benediction for the soul;
beyond intangibles that comfort us
when doubters cower under circumstance
and faithless people cast all hope on wealth;
even before the graces that advance
our comfort, pleasure, family and health,
I would give thanks for pain, displeasure, fear,
reversals that avoid the cul-de-sac
of pride, anxieties, and every tear
that draws me near through prejudice or lack
to Your forgiveness. Surely all is good
that leads me into doing what I should.
