There is not a sparrow that falls that our Lord doesn't know about it.  How much more does he care for us? 

The Friend That Just Stands By

When trouble comes your soul to try,

You love the friend who just stands by.

Perhaps there is nothing they can do,

The thing is strictly up to you.

For there are troubles all your own,

And paths the soul must tread alone.

Times when love can't smooth the road

Nor friends lift the heave load.

But just to feel you have a friend,

Who will stand by you til the end.

Whose sympathy through all endures,

Whose handclasp is always your.

It helps somehow  to pull you through,

Although there is nothing they can do.

And so with freverent heart we cry,

God bless the friend that just stands by.

You know I don't know how you pray, and that is so very personal I am not giving you instuction (as though I could) but rater sharing with you how I pray to my Lord.  Well, actually there are really differt ways for dirrerent time.  Most of the time I just talk to the Lord juat as I would talk to any friend I loved.  All through the day I need to tell him what is on mind or ask his guidence.  I may be at home doing house work or riding down the road.

Then there are those times I am alone and I call that my sweet hour of prayer.  That special time I just tell the Lord how much I love him, and thank him for some new blessing I have receivd.

The there are those times when my heart is troubled and I call that my time in the closet with the Lord (those that read his word understand) I fall on my face and picture myself at the feet of Jesus with my head on his knee.  I just cry out Lord I have done all I can about this situation now I am getting mighty tired.  Lord you know how long I can stad this situation.  Sure enough He does know and somehow I fell that he would be stroking my hair and saying, child did I not tell you I would not put more on you than you can handle?  Did I not tell you I would not leave nor forsake you, but in all thing to give thanks because I care for you.  That is when I see the warm grin on his glorious face.  You know I belive God made us to be in union with him on every thing that goes on in our life. 

Then I will get up and wipe the tears from my eyes, and know he knows all about it.  This is my comfort, my strength, my hope, my all.  Oh, sweet hour of prayer! 

May the words of my mouth, and the meditation of my heart, be acceptable in thy sight or Lord, my strength and my redemor.
