old, beautiful words



O Master, show me this morning how to yield myself up to Thee completely, and then how to ask of Thee things great enough to be worthy of a King's giving. Make me equal in my requests to Thy infinite eagerness to give. Touch with Thy Pierced Hand the hidden springs that will cause every part of my being to fly wide open to Thee, my Lord and my God!

  1. Beautiful and piercing. For some reason I'm reminded of Hind's Feet and the "streams" that sing "go lower." I pray for a heart that would make Him higher and myself lower.

  9. Amanda,
    I thought you'd love the words and heart of this prayer. I am going to try to memorize it. Sometimes the old time wording is the most beautiful. I can remember the old King James Scripture best for some reason. Praying for you this week. See you next week ~ or, as one friend, says, "here, there, or in the air:)

  12. Have a great time, Laura!! I can't wait to see all the pictures posted up around the net! I'm doing jury duty this week...I miss the littles like crazy but I think it will be a learning and growing experience. I'll pray for you as you head out to conference :)

  13. Julia, Oh, I remember my jury duty days with my littles:) It will be a change for you, that's for sure! So appreciate your prayers. Please pray for my boys, too. Went to open house last night and the flu has already hit the school and Paul's teacher was out, plus quite a few kids. Am heading out the door in a few minutes. Thanks so much for any travel mercy prayers! Bless you all, too, and see you here next week!
