I know not what it will bring forth, but make me ready, Lord, for whatever it may be.

If I am to lie low, help me to do it patiently.
And if I am to do nothing, let me do it gallantly.
Make these words more than just words, and give me the spirit of Jesus. Amen.

Calls my heart to be his own.

My sickness, or perplexity, or sorrow may be necessary causes of some great end, which is quite beyond us. He does nothing in vain. -John Henry Newman

Is the time for faith to shine. -F.B. Meyer

Great is Thy faithfulness, O God my Father,
There is no shadow of turning with Thee;
Thou changest not, Thy compassions, they fail not
As Thou hast been Thou forever wilt be.
Great is Thy faithfulness! Great is Thy faithfulness!
Morning by morning new mercies I see;
All I have needed Thy hand hath provided--
Great is Thy faithfulness,” Lord, unto me!
Pardon for sin and a peace that endureth,
Thy own dear presence to cheer and to guide;
Strength for today and bright hope for tomorrow,
Blessings all mine, with ten thousand beside!
-Thomas Obediah Chisholm (1866-1960)
