Salient Thought
for the Day
God gives us more than we ask for; we have only to leave ourselves in His loving, protecting hands.
Lines
to Memorize
Thou and world, I and mine —
All these thoughts arise;
But when I am alone with thee
And no thought hinders my soaring soul,
I find all and all I find in Thee.
Lesson
The Lord never fails toward His children. As long as we depend on our changeable lower nature we are constantly shifting and unstable. We cannot help matters by giving way to anxiety. Ours is to trust in God and do as well as we can. His care is untiring and always wisely given. He never fails to know our need and to meet it. Surrender to the Divine gives us something which we do not find in the ordinary walks of life.
Prayer
All-blessed One, I am Your servant.
I am Your child.
I am nothing apart from You.
I can do or say nothing except as You make me to speak or act.
I am only an instrument in Your hands.
