In Christ

In Christ alone my soul finds rest… In Christ alone my soul… In Christ alone… In Christ.   – Inspired by Psalm 62:1, 5 – From Bill Gaultiere at www.soulshepherding.org – Pray slowly reflecting on each line quietly.

Throne Within – Bernard of Clairvaux

Lord God, Come quickly and reign on Your throne within me! For something rises and tries to take possession of your throne; Pride, greed, uncleanness and laziness want to be my kings. And then evil-words, anger, hatred, and a whole band of evil join the war trying to rule me. I resist them, I cry out against them. I say…

Prayer For The Lonely

We pray for all who are lonely, children who are being bullied and dare not tell anyone; shy people who make it hard to make friends; those who feel rejected and isolated; those whose partner has died or left them; and the elderly people who miss their families and old friends. Be with them all in infinite love.

An Old Man’s Song

What else can I do, a weak old man, but sing hymns of joy to you God? If I were a magpie, I would do it the magpie’s way. If I were a brolga, I would do it with elegant dance. But I am a thinker, so I will praise God not just with my lips but with mind and…
