Prayer for today

Gracious words are like a honeycomb, sweetness to the soul and health to the body.

Whoever is slow to anger is better than the mighty, and he who rules his spirit than he who takes a city. (Proverbs 16:24, 32 ESV)

cloudy glass broken in a million pieces

God, I'm longing for the day to come  
When this cloudy glass I'm looking through  
Is shattered in a million pieces  
And finally I can just see You
 
God, You know I believe it's true  

I know I will see You  
But until the day I do
 
I will trust You, trust You  

Trust You, God, I will  
Even when I don't understand  
Even then I will say again
 
You are my God, and I'll trust You

portions of Psalm 130 (From Depths of Woe)

To wash away the crimson stain,
Grace, grace alone availeth;
Our works, alas! Are all in vain;
In much the best life faileth;
No man can glory in Thy sight,
All must alike confess Thy might,
And live alone by mercy
(Live alone by mercy)
And live alone by mercy
(Live alone by mercy)
Therefore my trust is in the Lord,
And not in mine own merit;
On Him my soul shall rest, His word
Upholds my fainting spirit;
His promised mercy is my fort,
My comfort and my sweet support;
