Values of Life
“Many of us lose confidence in prayer because we do not realize the answer.
We ask for strength, and God gives us difficulties which make us strong.
We pray for wisdom and God gives problems, the solution of which develops wisdom.
We plead for prosperity, and God gives us dangers to overcome.
We ask for favors and God gives us opportunities.”
– Hugh B. Brown
Give All You Can
” There was a certain preacher that went out into the country every month to preach to a little congregation. He thought to himself that because of the small group he wouldn’t have to prepare a speach, so he went out and gave a half hearted sermon.
After the service he opened the collection box, and received only fifty cents. A little boy standing nearby said:
” If you would put more in, you would get more out.”

The Difference
“I got up early one morning
And rushed right into the day;
I had so much to accomplish
That I didn’t have time to pray.
Problems just tumbled about me,
And heavier came each task;
“why doesn’t God help me?” I wondered
He answered, “You didn’t ask.”
I wanted to see joy and beauty,
But the day toiled on gray and bleak;
I wondered why God didn’t show me.
He said “But you didn’t seek.”
I tried to come into God’s presence;
I used all keys in the lock.
God gently and lovingly chided,
“My child, you didn’t knock.”
I woke up early this morning
And paused before entering the day;
I had so much to accomplish
That I hadto take time to pray.”
Pray With Faith
I OFTEN SAY MY PRAYERS,
BUT DO I EVER PRAY?AND DO THE WISHES OF MY HEART GO
WITH THE WORDS I SAY?I MAY AS WELL KNEEL DOWN
AND PRAY TO GODS OF STONE,AS OFFER TO THE LIVING GOD
A PRAYER OF WORKS ALONE.PRAYER WITHOUT FAITH
THE LORD WILL NEVER HEAR,NOR TO THOSE LIPS ATTEND,
WHO’S PRAYERS ARE NOT SINCERE.”

I asked God to take away my pride,
And God said, ‘No’.

But for me to give up.
I asked God to make my handicaped child whole,
And God said, ‘No’.
He said her spirit is whole,
Her body is only temporary.
I asked God to grant me patience,
And God said, ‘No’.
He said that patience is a by-product of tribulation;
It isn’t granted, it’s earned.
I asked God to give me happiness,
And God said, ‘No’.
He said He gives blessings,
Happiness is up to me.
I asked God to spare me pain,
And God said, ‘No’.
He said suffereing draws you apart from worldy
cares and brings you closet to Him.
I asked God to make my spirit grow,
And God said, ‘No’.
He said I must grow on my own,
But He will prune me to make me fruitful.
I asked God if He loved me,
And God said, ‘Yes’.
He gave me His Only son who died for me,
and I will be in Heaven someday because I believe.
I asked God to help me love others
As much as He loves me.
And God said,
‘Ah! Finally you have the idea.’
The Power of Prayer
My life was about living, every day about the same.
Nothing special to report, because He didn’t know my name.
I was lonely and quite hungry, though I didn’t know what for.
‘Cause I hadn’t been to church, so I didn’t know the Lord.
When I did attend I went for food, friendship and to sing.
The sermons in between were just, filling for this thing.
I may have kept attending, for wrong mistaken reasons,
but at least I was in church through many, many seasons.
I had heard the stories, bowed my head, but never really prayed.
Belief was unbelievable, my soul was never swayed.
Yet, that was when the trials came, such turmoil in my life.
My mother had been murdered and it caused me so much strife.
I was spiraling down a rabbit hole that got darker by the day,
and that was when the Bible Group asked me if they could pray.
They placed their hands upon me and asked our Lord to claim
my heart, my hope, my soul, my faith, for me to know His name.
And in that moment of grief and pain, I was weak enough to feel,
a soul’s embrace that felt so warm, my Lord became quite real.
He showed me love that I could sense, its power came from higher,
He showed me signs that He was there. He filled my soul with fire.
When I look back along life’s path, my memories seem dark.
I had walked throughout my life, without an inkling of His spark.
Now, each day I wake up knowing, that He is part of me.
My roots are set, my trunk is tall. I’m branches of His tree.
U’m reaching out in hopes to fill my readers with my passion
Testify that God’s great love is full of such compassion.
He helped me through my rabbit hole. He’s with me everywhre.
My Christian soul is shining bright, thanks to the Power of Prayer.”
