I know not which of us has chosen this path for many times have I been guilty of denying guidance, but no matter now the choosing for it is before me and must be traversed. Let me not now fear demons concealed in the shadows, nor let the rough places bruise badly. And if complaints find my lips let them disintegrate softly into gratitude for your constant watching. Teach me when to hold high the lamp of Your word, and when to climb silently under Your protective cover. Most of all Lord through the trespass of this darkness write on my heart that it is You alone who grants safe passage. Psalms 23 The Lord is my shepherd; I shall not want. He makes me to lie down in green pastures; He leads me beside still waters. He restores my soul: He guides me in the paths of righteousness for his name's sake. Yea, thou I walk through the valley of the shadow of death, I will fear no evil; for thou art with me; Thy rod and thy staff, they comfort me. Thou prepares a table before me in the presence of mine enemies: Thou hast anointed my head with oil; My cup overflows with blessings. Surely goodness and loving kindness shall follow me all the days of my life; And I shall dwell in the house of Jehovah for ever. |

I be honest and say I'm not big on prayers . . . But this is so very well done. With your permission, I would like to add it to my collection of poems by others. If yes, what name shall I give the author? John |

And if complaints find my lips let them disintegrate softly into gratitude for your constant watching. I need to write these lines on my mirror... that they might follow me through each day. Excellent write!! |

this was a lovely prayer...and reminded me of a very good movie I watched last evening...it contains the same powerful feeling of great compassion with a profound underlying message... |

Marge, thank you dear lady suthern, I have found that complaining is like a summer cold, easy to catch and hard to get rid of and thankfulness is the best medicine  thank you ladylee, glad you enjoyed |
