Encouragement and Inspiration

Allow thoughts of encouragement to be part of your day.

If we have done our best, we can relax in just that satisfaction.

Father, let me hold thy hand, and like a child walk with Thee down all my days, secure in thy love and strength. Thomas a Kempis

God, give me patience for the endless task, The daily repetitions, the slow years Of molding, line by line, the human mind, Until at length 'tis free from sordid fears.

God, let me care for those whom I must teach; Like the great Teacher let me ever love With tender, brooding, understanding heart, Eyes wise, farseeing, as the stars above.

God, give me faith to see beyond today, To sow the seed and cultivate the soil; Then wait serenely, trusting in thy power, To bless and multiply my humble toil. Author Unknown

Many of life's failures are people who did not realize how close they were to success when they gave up. Thomas Edison

Grant me, O Lord, the royalty of inward happiness, and the serenity which comes from living close to Thee. Daily renew in me the sense of joy, and let the eternal spirit of the Father dwell in my soul and body, filling every corner of my heart with light and grace, so that, bearing about with me the infection of good courage, I may be a diffuser of life, and may meet all ills and cross accidents with gallant and high-hearted courage, giving Thee thanks always for all things.

The Lord also will be a refuge for the oppressed, a refuge in times of trouble. Psalms 9:9
