These Inward Trials
These Inward Trials
I asked the Lord, that I might grow
In faith, and love, and every grace;
Might more of His salvation know,
And seek more earnestly His face.
A Prayer for Victory over Temptation
A Prayer for Victory over Temptation
Haste to me, Lord, when this fool-heart of mine
Begins to gnaw itself with selfish craving;
Or, like a foul thing scarcely worth the saving,
Swoln up with wrath, desireth vengeance fine.
Haste, Lord, to help, when reason favours wrong;
Haste when thy soul, the high-born thing divine,
Is torn by passion’s raving, maniac throng.
A Prayer For You
A Prayer For You by Lenora McWhorter
I lifted you to the Lord today
as I spent some time in prayer.
I asked God to be near you
and your burdens help you bear.
I could feel the Father smile
each time I called your name
because I talk to Him quite often
and my prayers are the same.
The Peace Prayer of Saint Francis
Lord, make me an instrument of your peace.
Where there is hatred, let me sow love;
Where there is error, truth;
Where there is injury, pardon;
Where there is doubt, faith;
Where there is despair, hope;
Where there is darkness, light;
And where there is sadness, joy.

The Year Outgrows The Spring
The Year Outgrows the Spring
by Ella Wheeler Wilcox
The year outgrows the spring it thought so sweet
And clasps the summer with a new delight,
Yet wearied, leaves her languors and her heat
When cool-browed autumn dawns upon his sight.
Withered Leaves by Peter Burn
Withered Leaves
by Peter Burn
I watch the leaves as they fade and fall
And form a heap by my garden wall.
I think of my loss in days “to be,”
My garden’s wealth but a leafless tree.
The Circling Year by Ramona Graham
The Circling Year
by Ramona Graham
SPRING
The joys of living wreathe my face,
My heart keeps time to freshet’s race;
Of balmy airs I drink my fill—
Why, there’s a yellow daffodil!
Along the stream a soft green tinge
Gives hint of feathery willow fringe;
Methinks I heard a Robin’s “Cheer”—
I’m glad Spring’s here!
In Time’s Swing by Lucy Larcom
In Time’s Swing
by Lucy Larcom
Father Time, your footsteps go
Lightly as the falling snow.
In your swing I’m sitting, see!
Push me softly; one, two; three,
Twelve times only. Like a sheet,
Spread the snow beneath my feet.
Singing merrily, let me swing
Out of winter into spring.
The Seasons by E.F Hayward
The Seasons by E. F. Hayward
I love to watch the seasons change;
As Summer takes the throne from Spring,
So wonderful sublime and strange,
Each one its own sweet songs does sing.
