My Prayer for 2010
— 12/24/09
I am reading thru Elisabeth Elliot's book "LOVE HAS A PRICE TAG" once again and found this prayer she was given by her grandfather and penned by Phillip Brooks. She wrote in her book that she was making this the fabric of all her prayers and I have it written down in my YEARBOOK and am striving to meditate on it, pray it, and put it as a permanant and constant prayer of my heart for my year of 2010.
"O Lord, by all thy dealings with us, whether of joy or pain,
of light or darkness, let us be brought to thee.
Let us value no treatment of thy grace simply because it
makes us happy or because it makes us sad,
because it gives us or denies us what we want;
but may all that thou sendest us bring us to thee,
that, knowing thy perfectness, we may be sure in every
disappointment that thou art still loving us,
and in every darkness that thou are still enlightening us,
and in every enforced idleness that thou art still using us;
yea, in every death that thou art still giving us life,
as in his death thou didst give life to
thy SON, our Saviour, Jesus Christ. AMEN."
