great joy.
Scripture for the day:
"If you abide in me, and my words abide in you, ask for whatever you
wish, and it will be done for you." ~John 15:7
Meditation for the day:
"Ask for whatever you wish, and it will be done for you." God has
unlimited power. There is no limit to what God's power can do in
human hearts. We can will to have God's power and we can ask God for
it. God's power can be blocked by our indifference to it. We can go
along our own selfish way without calling on God's help, and we
receive no power. But when we trust in God, we can will to have the
power we need. When we sincerely ask God for it, we can receive it
abundantly.
Prayer for the day:
I pray that I may will to have God's power. I pray that I may keep
praying for the strength I need.

Gifts
~~~~~
Not more of light I ask, O God,
But eyes to see what is;
Not sweeter songs,
But ears to hear these melodies;
Not more of strength,
But how to use the power that I possess;
Not more of love,
But skill to turn a frown into a caress;
Not more of joy,
But how to feel its kindly presence near;
To give to others all I have,
Of courage and of cheer.
No other gifts, dear God, I ask,
But only sense to see;
How best to use these precious gifts;
Thou hast bestowed on me.

CROWN OF THORNS PRAYER
DEAR LORD, I am grieved when I consider Thy sad condition when Thou wore the Crown of Thorns upon Thy hold Head.
