Sufficient Grace

Three times in prayer Paul sought releaseFrom the harsh thorn of painPricking the ease of the flesh.

I Am Reflecting Thee

Look up—beholdThe presence of the Lord;For He has blessed youIn this very hour,This 'now" that isAnd was—shall ever be.
Let doubt be stilled, fear be destroyed,Trust take its rightful place;The love outpoured be amplified,That all may serve Thy grace.

Joy

Joy dwells within each consciousness.

The Practitioner

I would not seek to guide the way for others,Except in deep humility I walkThe narrow way of truth and noble purposeAnd with my heavenly Father daily talk.

The Breaking of the Day

I prayed that God would teach me how to pray—To open wide my eyes that I might seeThe full intent of what the Master soughtAlone with God in deep humility.

A Prayer

For this I strive: more wisdom to attain,The wisdom born of Love and Mind, which makesOne able lovingly to guide; to gainMore tenderness of heart, for this it takesTo comfort them that mourn, that hold as realTheir past mistakes or sigh for other years.

"The Lord is in this place"

The one who passes wearilyThe long, dark night aloneMay pause to praise where once he madeA pillow of a stone.

Noontide

Man never changes; always he reflectsComplete and perfect qualities alone.
