THURMAN’S CORNER – 1/24/2021
A Sense of Self
When our minds are sick with frustration and division;
When fear eats away the foundation of our peace –
Be present, O, Our Father, to heal, to bless
And make whole.
When our hearts are heavy with sorrow and misery;
When only heaviness is our daily portion –
Be present, O, Our Father, to heal, to bless
and relieve.
When our friends are difficult because of misunderstanding
And loss;
When the beauty of comradeship has wasted like the noon
day –
Be present, O, Our Father, to restore, to
bless and renew.
When the thread of our years unwinds near the end of the
spool;
When the failing powers of mind and body accent the passing
days –
Be Present, O, Our Father, to reassure, to make
steady and confirm.
When our well ordered plans fall apart in our hands;
When hopes give up, having run their course –
Be present, O, Our Father, to replenish, to
create and redeem.
When faith in our fellows wallows in the mud;
When through disappointment, through failure, through
flattery, all seems lost –
Be present, O, Our Father, to revise, to renew and
reassure.
Deep Is The Hunger
