Prayer that is born of meditation upon the Word of God is the prayer that soars upward most easily to God’s listening ears.

From Hebrews 4:12: “Indeed, the word of God is living and active and sharper than any two-edged sword, piercing until it divides soul from spirit, joints from marrow; it is able to judge the thoughts and intentions of the heart.”

R. A. Torrey (1856-1928) was an American Christian evangelist and Bible teacher. Reuben Archer Torrey also served as pastor, educator, and writer.

Hope’s Embrace

From the words of English preacher, Charles Spurgeon: “God alone can give us songs in the night.”

Landscape’s light seems distant
Worry consumes another heart
Faith’s tattered fabric breathes
Darkness tears life apart

Light’s breath offers mercy
Truth transcends throughout Father’s Word
With each hour, called to trust
Holy Spirit now stirred

Heavens’ cascading light
Thoughts nurtured, turning to prayer
Blessed psalms heard at night
Evidence Father cares

Love shaped by Savior’s light
His promises shall overcome
Valley’s shadow of death
Broken in smallest crumbs

Light’s expansive nature
Abundantly flowing with grace
Blindness lifted away
Faith swells from hope’s embrace

From Mark 5:35-36: “While he was still speaking, some people came from the synagogue leader’s house to say, ‘Your daughter is dead. Why trouble the teacher any further?’ But overhearing what they said, Jesus said to the synagogue leader, ‘Do not be afraid; only believe.'”

God’s grace sees beyond our deepest need. He meets us where we are, talking straight to us in terms that even we can understand.

From 2 Corinthians 5:17-18:  “So if anyone is in Christ, there is a new creation: everything old has passed away; look, new things have come into being! All this is from God, who reconciled us to Himself through Christ and has given us the ministry of reconciliation.”

Charles Swindoll (born 1934) is an American pastor and Christian author.

Embarking on faith’s journey

Peace nourished through God’s light

Provisions provided

Holy Spirit in flight

 

Marking life’s daily pathway

Hope’s goodness raised in Christ

Darkness buried by light

Through body sacrificed

 

Embracing Christ’s instructions

Scripture inspired by God

Righteousness fills each heart

Outlook no longer flawed

 

Leaving us in Spirit’s hands

Christ prepares Heaven’s home

Power received through grace

Peace restored, freedom roams

 

Welcoming presence of Christ

Truth rising at sunrise

Nourished through faithfulness

Redemption’s final prize
