To the Weaver of Creature Cares, Some Poem-let Prayers

My friend gave me this book for Christmas.She cautioned that it might make me shed some tears.It did. But what worthwhile tears they areas it reminded me of Rom.8:28 again,'how God works all things together for goodto those who love Him and are calledaccording to his purpose.' Sometimes, the troubled parts we see as hues of heartache blendAre but threads in a Tapestry we cannot comprehend How often what may seem like disappointing change of planIs but God's intervention anointing the will of manAs from a skein of Mercy's flax He weaves, beyond our kenMuch more than we could think to ask or think to think. Amen *** Dear Lord, when I forget in the thick of setbacks and suchTo visualize life's shimm'ring thread soft-tumbling through Your Touch Help me remember to picture You at the shuttle whereWhat looks like trouble's tincture is the answer to a prayerThe Weavers Work of Art I only see in part. Lord, thenCreate in me a humbler heart of childlike faith, Amen *** Lord, when our hope is shaken by dark hues of circumstance When one we love is taken or when courage cannot danceBeneath the weight of waiting and creature cares that life bringsRather than hope deflating, lift it up on eagle's wingsBecause, what tests faith's valour beyond logic's acumen May compose the key colour in Your Masterpiece. Amen © Janet Martin Isn't it awesome to remember God knows what we have need ofeven before we ask?! How His answers go before us all around the world in a wink! Matt. 6:8...your Father knows what you need before you ask him. Hymn: Since Jesus my Savior Since Jesus my Savior from sin rescued meLife's pathway shines brighter because I am freeNo harn can befall me though foes should assailMy refuge is Jesus, his love cannot fail.His love cannot fail. His love cannot fail.There's no one like Jesus, his love cannot fail. My heart overflows with a wondrous delightFor Jesus is with me by day and by nightHis love ever flowing so boundless and freeIt never can fail, 'tis for you and for me.His love cannot fail. His love cannot fail.There's no one like Jesus, his love cannot fail There's no one like Jesus to comfort and blessThere's no one like him in the hour of distressHe knows every trial on life's upward wayHis love cannot fail, 'tis a joy day by day.His love cannot fail. His love cannot fail.There's no one like Jesus, his love cannot fail. Singers: Altar of Praise ChoraleWords and music: James M. Black
