Thy Will be Done - My New Year Prayer

Lord, not my will but Thine alone
Be always done in me;
Whatever trials I might face.
May this my longing be.

Mysterious are Your ways, O Lord,
Uncertain what's ahead,
But this I know, I am secure
When by You I am led.

My mortal weakness makes me doubt
Your power and brings on fear;
Uphold me when I'm thus perplexed,
Assure me You are near.

Give me Your strength to face with joy
Each day I have to live,
And faith to follow where You lead,
My life to You I give.

Jesus Never Fails - Meditation for Lent

Our God is faithful and He won't
Let us be tempted more
Thank what we can withstand, if we
Ask Him the way to show.

It's only when we wilfully
Neglect God's still small voice-
Our Conscience - telling us what's right,
That sin we make our choice.

A contrite spirit never will
Let sin tarnish the soul,
For it will heed the Lord's warnings,
And let Him take control.

"I will uphold you," says the Lord,
And He won't ever fail;
When tempted look to Him in prayer,
Then Satan can't prevail.

Read 1 Corinthians 10:13
