On this day of preparation for the Lord's Day tomorrow, I wanted to share this little poem by an unknown author. May God bless you today as you prepare your heart for His holy day.
"The day was long, the burden I had borne seemed heavier than I could longer bear;
And then it lifted -- but I did not know someone had knelt in prayer!
They had taken me to God that very hour, and asked the easing of the load, and He,
in infinite compassion, had stooped down and lifted the burden from me.
We cannot tell how often as we pray for some bewildered one, hurt and distressed,
the answer comes, but many times these hearts find sudden peace and rest.
Someone had prayed in faith. A lifted hand reached up to God, and He reached down that day.
So many, many hearts have need of prayer . . . then, let us, let us pray."
This brought tears to my eyes and blessed my heart today, Sis. Hood. Always look forward to reading your new posts. I am challenged to pray more for all.
