The sweet child replied, "Sir, my Dad is
the pilot, and he is taking me home."
There are many kinds of storms that rock
our world -- physical, mental, financial,
domestic, and many other storms can
easily and quickly darken our skies and
throw our mind into apparently
uncontrollable movement. We have all
known such times, and let us be honest
and confess, that it is much easier to be at
rest when our feet are on the ground than
when we are being tossed about a
darkened sky.
While we are going through those times,
let us also remember: our Father is the
Pilot. He is in control and He is taking us
home.
John 14:1-6 says:
Let not your heart be
troubled: ye believe in God, believe also in
me. In my Father's house are many
mansions: if it were not so, I would have
told you. I go to prepare a place for you.
And if I go and prepare a place for you, I
will come again, and receive you unto
myself; that where I am, there ye may be
also. And whither I go ye know, and the
way ye know. Thomas saith unto him,
Lord, we know not whither thou goest; and
how can we know the way?
6
Jesus saith
unto him, I am the way, the truth, and the
life: no man cometh unto the Father, but
by me.
END
If some small act of mine has caused
A soul to hurt, or break, or pause;
If some small careless move of mine
Removed the eye of one from thine;
Dear Father, forgive.
If some small reckless shake of head
Caused grief, or pain, or even dread;
If some small, thoughtless word
Was cause for one small soul to hurt;
Dear Father, forgive.
If some small selfish move of mine
Caused someone else's heart to pine
And my obsession of myself
Gave pause to someone else's health;
Dear Father, forgive.
For in this life, one thing I care.
To offer rest and not despair.
To bless the ones I meet each day
To know that I sent love their way;
To know that just one soul was blessed
Was offered peace and not distress;
To know that through my restless heart
One soul found light in place of dark;
That on the day of bitt'rest storm
Was found a calm, and rest, and warm;
And when the day was dark and bleak,
Someone was moved Your heart to
seek...
Would make it worth the sweat and tears
And toil and sadness of the years.
To know that love was found in me,
Would bring me joy eternally.
Today, My Father, this I plea;
Take up residence in me.
Fill My heart with Your embrace
So I spread love, and joy, and grace.
My Prayer
