The Christ appears

The fourth watch—Can seem the darkest hour of the night,When sea is tempest-tossed

Moving day

I may say goodbye to my house.

Where are the boats?

Challenging times.

The kingdom within

As a crocus expands in the sunAnd contracts in the cold,So we, beneath the healing touch of Love,Put forth our petals and shineWith a reflected radiance not our own.

Pledge

I shall love one God alone:Adore no gods of earth,Nor chatter idly near His throne,Ignore His Sabbath's worth.

Time enough

We need timeto sort it out.

Be still!

I pray the sweet words "Peace, be still"To calm the storms of human will;I know the stillness deep withinThat conquers evil, sickness, sin;I pray for that Mind to be in meThat knows no raging of the sea.

Communication restored

I've gone all through the day and never heardA wordFrom You, through lack of listening.

Prayer of petition

Lord, help me to see Thy face.
