| THE BEST OF ME PRAYER Lord, I'm troubled, again, today. My faith seems a bit small. There is none other, Lord; only you, As upon your name I call. Please ease my troubled heart. Free it from my fear. Help me, in my smallest faith, To know that You are near. You've always lifted shadows That would hide the sun from view. My troubles seem to disappear When I give them up to You. You never make demands or tasks That exceed my ability. You give me strength, through my trial, That makes the best of me. When hard times come, Dear Lord, And I fear to meet my test, Extra faith You teach to me; So that I can do my best. I know You hold my tomorrows And You lead me by Your hand. Only what I can reach to do Is all that you demand. Sometimes, storms and frightening things Make my spirit fail. You just lift my shadows up, again, As upon Your name I call. As a measure of my faith, Dear Lord, Such will my blessings be. For, I know my faith grows in the trial That makes the very best of me. Amen � 1976 by Sandra Griffin http://www.our.homewithgod.com/sandra |
