Grant that I may not pray alone with the mouth; help me that I may pray from the depths of my heart.
Martin Luther
‘Fear not, for I am with you; Be not dismayed, for I am your God. I will strengthen you, Yes, I will help you, I will uphold you with My righteous right hand.’

With eager heart and will on fire,
I fought to win my great desire.
”Peace shall be mine,” I said, but life
Grew bitter in the weary strife.
My soul was tired, and my pride
Was wounded deep: to Heaven I cried,
“God grant me a peace or I must die;”
The dumb stars glittered no reply.
Broken at last, I bowed my head,
Forgetting all myself, and said,
”Whatever comes, His will be done;”
And in that moment peace was won.
Henry van Dyke

It is a shameful thing to quit our conversation with God to think of trifles and fooleries.
Brother Lawrence
For God did not give us a spirit of timidity (of cowardice, of craven and cringing and fawning fear), but [He has given us a spirit] of power and of love and of calm and well-balanced mind and discipline and self-control.
2 Timothy 1:7
The Amplified Bible
Ever since the days of Adam, man has been hiding from God and saying, “God is hard to find.”

The greatest challenge here is faithfulness, which must be lived in the choices of every moment. When your eating, drinking, working, playing, speaking, or writing is no longer for the glory of God, you should stop it immediately, because you no longer live for the glory of God, you begin living for your own glory. Then you will separate yourself from God and do yourself harm.
Henri Nouwen
“Blessed is the man who trusts in the Lord, whose trust is the Lord. He is like a tree planted by water, that sends out its roots by the stream, and does not fear when heat comes, for its leaves remain green, and is not anxious in the year of drought, for it does not cease to bear fruit.”

When all the suns and nebulae have passed away, each one of you will still be alive.
C. S. Lewis
For thus saith the LORD unto the house of Israel, Seek ye me, and ye shall live:
Amos 5:4
The King James Version
Repentance was perhaps best defined by a small girl: “It’s to be sorry enough to quit.”

Help us, O Lord, when we want to do the right thing, but know not what it is. But help us most when we know perfectly well what we ought to do, and do not want to do it. Amen.
Peter Marshall
“But if a wicked man turns away from all his sins which he has committed and keeps all my statutes and does what is lawful and right, he shall surely live; he shall not die. None of the transgressions which he has committed shall be remembered against him; for the righteousness which he has done he shall live.”
Ezekiel 18:21-22

Today’s Thought contained an error, mediation was printed twice instead of the correct (below) meditation…that is significant enough to send out a corrected message. I apologize for my mistake and thanks for your participation (and patience) in this ministry!
Greg for This Day’s Thought
Those who draw water from the wellspring of meditation know that God dwells close to their hearts. For those who wish to discover the quietude of old amid the hustle and bustle of today’s machine civilization, there is no way save to rediscover this ancient realm of meditation. Since the loss of my eyesight I have been as delighted as if I had found a new wellspring by having arrived at this sacred precinct.

I leave entirely to thy care.

The humility of Christ is not the moderation of keeping one’s exact place in the scale of being, but rather that of absolute dependence on God and absolute trust in him, with the consequent ability to move mountains. The secret of the meekness and the gentleness of Christ lies in his relation to God.
H. Richard Niebuhr
For the Lord God is a sun and shield; the Lord bestows favor and honor. No good thing does he withhold from those who walk uprightly. O Lord of hosts, blessed is the one who trusts in you!
Psalm 84:11-12
