It's been a week from Hell. But I didn't have to drink.
Thank God for meetings and this site. May you all have a wonderful Blessed Sunday. I pray mine will be better than last Sunday. As i say this week has been a real test, but it's over. ONE DAY AT A TIME
Lead Me and Guide Me
Almighty God, I humbly pray, Lead me and guide me through this day. Cast out my selfishness and sin, Open my heart to let You in. Help me now as I blindly stray Over the pitfalls along the way. Let me have courage to face each task, Invest me with patience and love, I ask. Care for me through each hour today, Strengthen and guard me now, I pray.
As I forgive, forgive me too, Needing Your mercy as I do. Oh, give me Your loving care, Never abandon me to despair. Yesterday's wrongs I would seek to right. Make me more prefect in Your sight. Oh, teach me to live as best I can, Use me to help my fellowman. Save me from acts of bitter shame, I humbly ask it in Your name.
It is said an Eastern monarch once charged his wise men to invent him a sentence to be ever in view, and which should be true and appropriate in all times and situations. They presented him the words: 'And this, too, shall pass away.' How much it expresses! How chastening in the hour of pride! How consoling in the depths of affliction!
