_Prayers Heard by the Father

Dear soul, I think it is a common experience for believers to go through life thinking that their prayers are seldom heard by God. Whether our prayers are made in the deepest devotion of our souls or whether it is made through the mere surfaces of our hearts, there's often that feeling in our hearts that wonders if our prayers really are heard. But you know how that works, don't you. Life does not operate by what we feel or see. Christ does not work by the compass of our hearts. Instead, He directs the rudder of our lives wherever He wishes and blows ...

_Hope That Does Not Put to Shame and Love Shed Abroad

Therefore, since we have been justified by faith, we have peace with God through our Lord Jesus Christ.

_To Disappear

Dear Sovereign Lord, In You are endless joys. In You alone is my soul satisfied. In You alone is grace and peace found, nay, the fullness of grace and peace. How excellent is Your name, O God, my God. My soul is ravished by the declarations of Your glory. I am weak and defiled by sin. Often am I overcome by my flesh and the temptations that beset me.

_New Mercies

My Dearest Master, As I look back to the year gone by I see so much of Your manifold mercies, Your wondrous works. I see the multitude of my doubts, the multitude of my sin and faithlessness, the congregation of mine own iniquities, my pathetic battle against sin and temptation. I remember the myriad days when my heart and spirit were ice cold towards You, little desiring of You. And yet though hemmed by a mountain of sin, I behold Thy glory. In the blackness of the skies of my heart, the Star of David shines ever brightly. I remember myself in many ...
