Jump!
Leaping upward to the heavens, leaving all of Earth behind.
Soaring up to Heaven’s realm, and into a peace of mind.
All is left for just a moment, only self is lifted up,
All temptation, all distraction, all that’s bitter in our cup.
All is Joy that is before us, with the fresh breeze in our face.
In that moment, leaping upward, we have left Earth in its place.
What we need, we have within us, what we leave, we do not need.
What we gain, we want forever, what we lose, we pay no heed.
Every jump must have a landing, crashing down to Earth once more,
If this fall must lie before us, what is all the jumping for?
Jump for Joy, and jump for pleasure. Jump because the joy’s in you.
Jump to gain a piece of Heaven, jump for where you’re going to.
All our years of Winter’s Worries, bind us solidly to Earth.
Time, in turn, will lead to knowing, every Spring is like a birth!
Though our years must have an ending, Winter can not be denied.
Stepping forward, stepping upward, Spring can be in every stride!
Jump for Joy in Heaven’s blessing, pay the aftermath no heed.
Jump because your goal is Heaven, knowing one day you’ll succeed.
Jump for Joy, and jump for pleasure. Jump because the joy’s in you.
Jump to gain a piece of Heaven, jump for where you’re going to.

Letters To God
Read: Psalm 65:1-8
O You who hear prayer, to You all flesh will come. —Psalm 65:2
Bible In One Year: Jeremiah 12-14; 2 Timothy 1
Every year thousands of letters addressed to God find their way to a post office in Jerusalem. One letter, addressed to "God of Israel," requested assistance in getting a job as a bulldozer driver. Another said: "Please help me to be happy, to find a nice job and a good wife—soon." One man asked forgiveness for stealing money from a grocery store when he was a child.
But were those heartfelt requests heard by God? The psalmist said that God is the one who hears prayer (Psalm 65:2). Whether we say our prayers silently, voice them aloud, or write them on paper, they go directly to God. But He does not answer every request as we would wish. Our petitions may be self-serving (James 4:3), or sin may be blocking our fellowship with Him (Psalm 66:18).
More than giving us what we want, the Lord knows our deepest needs, and He wants us to discover the joy of His presence each day. Because of our faith in Christ, praying becomes our means of communion with God, not just a list of things we want from Him.
In His wisdom, God hears all our prayers. In His grace, He offers forgiveness for all our sins. In His love, He gives us eternal and abundant life through His Son. —David McCasland
Teach me to pray, Lord, teach me to pray;
This is my heart-cry day unto day.
I long to know Thy will and Thy way;
Teach me to pray, Lord, teach me to pray. —Reitz

God hears more than our words—He listens to our heart.
