2Co 4:6 For God, who said, "Let light shine out of darkness," has shone in our hearts to give the light of the knowledge of the glory of God in the face of Jesus Christ.

2Co 4:7 But we have this treasure in jars of clay, to show that the surpassing power belongs to God and not to us.
2Co 4:8 We are afflicted in every way, but not crushed; perplexed, but not driven to despair;
2Co 4:9 persecuted, but not forsaken; struck down, but not destroyed;
2Co 4:10 always carrying in the body the death of Jesus, so that the life of Jesus may also be manifested in our bodies.
Lord, always we come to you in weakness, vessels of clay.
Strengthen our physical bodies and heal those that are broken or diseased.
We ask you for comfort for troubled minds, peace that passes understanding and the answers we are seeking.
Guide us Precious Father.
We know you won't be even a little late.
Rescue and help.
Let restoration come to us in the night.
We need a supernatural rest.
We rely upon you.
In you we Trust.
I ask to Glorify you in all things.
The LORD be Praised.

Now rest beneath night’s shadow
The woodland, field, and meadow,
The world in slumber lies;
But Thou, my heart, awake thee,
To prayer and song betake thee;
Let praise to thy Creator rise.
The radiant sun hath vanished,
His golden rays are banished
By night, the foe of day;
But Christ, the Sun of gladness,
Dispelling all my sadness,
Within my heart holds constant sway.
The rule of day is over
And shining jewels cover
The heaven’s boundless blue.
Thus I shall shine in heaven,
Where crowns of gold are given
To all who faithful prove and true.
To rest my body hasteth,
Aside its garments casteth,
Types of mortality;
These I put off and ponder
How Christ will give me yonder
A robe of glorious majesty.
Lord Jesus, Who dost love me,
Oh, spread Thy wings above me
And shield me from alarm!
Though evil would assail me,
Thy mercy will not fail me:
I rest in Thy protecting arm.
My loved ones, rest securely,
For God this night will surely
From peril guard your heads.
Sweet slumbers may He send you
And bid His hosts attend you
And through the night watch o’er your beds.
Thank you so much for both of your beautiful meditations for today. I always read every word that is posted, taking time to savor them. Please know that, when sometimes I am silent.
I have been hurt lately by some puzzling silences and some cruelty and I get real quiet (unusual for me!) until I can get charitable again. At least my hands are healing, yippee for hydrocortisone cream and my FRPR FRiends!
Happy Wednesday to All!
Hallelujah! Thank God! Pray to him by name!
Tell everyone you meet what he has done!
Sing him songs, belt out hymns,
Translate his wonders into music!
Honor his holy name with Hallelujahs,
You who seek God. Live a happy life!
Keep your eyes open for God, watch for his works;
Be alert for signs of his presence.
Remember the world of wonders he has made,
His miracles, and the verdicts he's rendered—
O seed of Abraham, his servant,
O child of Jacob, his chosen. (Ps.105:1-6)
We are So Thankful for You, our Christ, so Filled with Your Loving Praise. We Magnify Your Name, O Father; with All that is Within us, we Love You, our God. Surround Thy Children with Mercies, Granting us Healing and Super-Abundant Grace. Overflow us with Thy Spirit, and Help us to Glorify You. Our Merciful Master, we Praises You for Your Graciousness to us. In the Name of His Excellency our King we Pray, amen.
