Lord, what a change within us one short hour
spent in Thy presence will prevail to make;
What heavy burdens from our bosoms take;
What parched grounds refresh as with a shower!
We kneel- and all about us seems to lower;
We rise- and all, the distant and the near,
Stands forth in sunny outline, brave and clear.
We kneel- how weak! we rise, how full of power!
Why, therefore, should we do ourselves the wrong,
Or others, that we are not always strong;
that we are ever overborne with care,
Anxious and troubled, when with us is prayer,
And joy and strength and courage are with Thee.
**~Richard Trench~
May we all take time to pray and meditate on God's Word daily. A challenge to all true Christians to turn off the internet at least an hour or two and spend time with God. Don't let anything come before God- not even the internet lest it become an idol.
