Thought
If our father we ask for bread
Will he give us stone instead?
If his kingdom is heart’s space
Will we not there see his face?
If we repeat his holy name
Will he not be there again?
If his kingdom’s all around
Will his glory not be found?
If childish will be put aside
Does his willing grace abide?
If he provides our daily need
Will we worry who will feed?
If fatherly care sustains today
Will we feel he’s far away?
If he forgives our infant ways
Will we forgive our enemies?
If eyes he hides in peekaboo
Can he not open them for you?
Prayer
O Fatherly Lord, whenever I fall you pick me up and carry me without my even knowing. May I feel your strength and guidance from moment to moment and understand my origin and inheritance from Thee.
