God

I cannot change people’s minds or hearts.

You can.

I cannot make people understand.

You can.

I cannot compel anyone to believe as me.

You can.

I cannot see inside someone’s mind.

You can.

You alone know the way to recovery.

Help us see the possibility.

Help us see the completion of your will.

Help us see the way of peace and love.

Help us see each other as you do.

Amen.

Do you make a lasting impression?

 
Share God's love.
Listen to God's people.
Pray for your Christian family.
Give to support Christ's work in the world.
Spoil each other with holy impressions from God.

a Coastal Psalm 23




The Lord is my navigator, I shall not perish.

He helps me walk down sandy shores.

He leads me beside crashing waves.

He takes me down paths of Spanish covered oaks.

Even though my mind wanders He gives me new views.

I will fear nothing.

He is with me.

His love and joy comfort me.

He refreshes the surf and sand before me

in the presence of fellow beachcombers.

He anoints me with salty air.

Surely His mercy and grace will follow me home and

I will dwell in His glory forever.

Despite our problems

we learn much in stillness

the way to peace
God in your heart
the strength of forgiveness
God in your spirit
the grace of mercy
God in your marrow
the truth to a contented life
God in your soul

In stillness

My sanctuary

Dwells
 
In quiet

My soul

Surrenders
 
In peace

My body

Relaxes
 
In hope

My spirit

Fills
 

In joy

My heart

Swells
 

In faith

My life

Returns

Hope--Not Alone




Lord,

I can’t go it alone.

You must go before me.

If You can answer all the prayers of those I lift up each day,

Then I need nothing more.

Carrying these prayer needs is a burden that hurts me daily.

I know You oh Lord are busy meeting every single need.

I thank You humbly.

I need only trust

Your way, Your truth, Your life.

I am depending on You.

In Christ,

Amen

seeking fellowship


 

In this world of stillness
We bow in reverence to the
One in control
We ask for strength to carry us through
And grace to see us to the end
And faith we will not forget
To continue sharing God’s abundance and love
Why do we wait till it’s too late?
Why do we allow time to be wasted?
Why do we show so little love?
Why do we think we have tomorrow?
Why do we think we can do it later?
Why, why, why?

balance and nature

 
 
Finding balance involves
Being calm amidst storms.
Exhibiting balance is a matter
Of choosing to not sweat the small stuff.
The best effort for balance is not allowing
The negative to rule.
