AS THOUGH MY LADY WERE SPEAKING


 “Please, be as kind as kind could ever be, forgiving, understanding, all day long. Yes, please, be sweetly patient, Loving me; be fearless, faithful, gentle, brave, and strong. May Heaven help you out with all o' these, and always richly bless Your life, And Mine. Lord, Help us always rest our minds at ease, for we shall trust in Thee, O Life Divine!”

PRAYER FOR CYNICS


The beauty found in little children's eyes, in roses, orchids, daffodils, and pinks – such Beauties faithful, grateful people prize – God's gifts, no matter what the cynic thinks. Dear Lord, please bless all cynics everywhere, and grant them grace wherever they may go. Please, help believers show them loving care, so some of Jesus' love they'll get ta know. And please help Me especially, today, that I may grow in understanding, Lord. May loving-kindness be what I display; may I all kindness shown ta Me reward! Please, and thank you!”

WHY NOT GROW UP & TURN TO THE LORD?


 “When vanity, or pride, controls a heart, confusion's gonna reign within that mind. So, selfishness, ya see, ain't never smart, ta Truth that person's gonna be part-blind. A heart that's pure can better understand; we need ta purify our hearts each day. Or evil, friend, will get quite out o' hand, and sane is something we're not gonna stay. So let's devote ourselves ta truth, and thrive; be kind and helpful, very patient, too. A grown-up 's gonna Give up all the jive, and, probably, dear Lord, will turn ta You!”

“Please, help me very wisely plan my day, and all of your instructions understand. Then help my mind remember what we've planned; then help me follow through, if that's okay! Together we can do what's kind and good, and help ta save this world that needs it so. Together we can Make it, this I Know, and I'll have done the very Best I could! So, thank you very much, my loving Lord!”
