Hold On My Child

My child, hold on

I shall not let you down ~~

tho' winds of doubt

are swirling all around ~~~

'Tho tempest~toss'd

and laden with such care ~~

Hold on My Child

HELP will soon be there

Be not dismayed

by trouble's bitter stain ~~

I see your anguish and

yes, the searing pain ~~~

Yet, I'm THE HEALER

of storm~toss'd wounded hearts ~~

And, I'll remain 'til

every fear departs ~~~

Hold On My Child

to MY own nail~scarr'd hand ~~

that heals each wound

gives you strength to stand ~~~

I'll never leave you

Child, help is on the way ~~

let not your troubled heart

lose HOPE, in Faith, child, stay ~~~

Look up with patience

'til every care is gone ~~

I'll MAKE A WAY , my precious

Child, HOLD ON !!!

Our gracious Heavenly Father, how we seek

YOU to offer songs of praise before your throne.

Praises to laud and magnify your greatness!

With thanksgiving we bow before you, our

beloved Father God.

When we contemplate the great extent to

which you go to show your enduring love for

us ~ our hearts are humbled and filled with

unspeakable wonder. That the GOD of ALL

CREATION is so interested in even the smallest

thing as it effects our lives. Oh, blessed Father,

what a wonder you ARE !!!

In the evening now we come to you,

our glorious Father ~ laying our burdens

upon your altar of Grace at the Mercy Seat.

We have grown weary dealing with the

overwhelming issues we faced today, Father.

Your WORD has convinced us that YOU

desire for us to cast ALL of our cares upon

YOU, for you care for us.

Sometimes, Heavenly Father, we don't have

an easy time doing this. We begin to

tell ourselves " We can't bother God with

ALL these troubles ~ HE has so many more

important things to deal with". We are starting

to learn though, Father God, that relief doesn't

seem to come until we DO share these cares

with you. THEN, how quickly we find YOU

are the MASTER~ARCHITECT. The MASTER~

DESIGNER!

YOU designed us to be GOD~DEPENDENT ~

Oh, praise your wonderful name !!!

Such intimacy we are afforded when we're able

to open our hearts to YOU communing with THE ONE

WHO KNOWS US BEST AND LOVES US MOST !!!

So ~ precious Father God, meet every need that

is laid upon the Altar of Grace ~ where there are

important decisions to be made, give us CLEAR

direction. Where there is confusion ~ replace it

with YOUR PEACE. Where there is grief and sorrow,

send our Holy Comforter who ministers just what

each of us is in need of. Where there is illness,

The HEALING BALM of GILEAD to soothe away

all pain and bring speedy healing for with Jesus'

stripes, we are healed.

As we lay down our heads this night,

O, our beloved Father, we ask YOUR protection.

Help our dreams be filled with YOUR GLORY.

As we sleep tonight ~ cause YOUR REFRESHING

to bathe us and bring restoration to our

minds, bodies, and souls, AS ONLY YOU

ARE ABLE TO DO, blessed Father.

How we thank you that we have this time

of sweet fellowship with you just before

our sleepy eyes close and we drift away

to dreamland.

Accept our praises and thanksgivings as

sweet fragrance unto you, ALMIGHTY FATHER,

our loving Lord. For we offer this evening prayer

to you in that name above every name, our Saviour,

Jesus Christ, in whom live and move and have

our being.

Amen and Amen
