fullness of joy

(Psalms 16:11 NKJV) 
You will show me the path of life; In Your presence is fullness of joy; At Your right hand are pleasures forevermore.

*Matt Sorger and Heidi Baker

Beautiful prayer for students


Jesus, you are the true fountain of light!

Incomprehensible Creator,
the true Fountain of light and only Author of all knowledge:
vouchsafe, we beseech Thee,
to enlighten our understandings, and to remove from us all darkness of sin and ignorance.
Thou,
who makest eloquent the tongues of those that want utterance,
direct our tongues,
and pour on our lips the grace of Thy blessing.
Give us a diligent and obedient spirit,
quickness of apprehension,
capacity of retaining,
and the powerful assistance of Thy holy grace;
that what we hear or learn we may apply to Thy honor and the eternal salvation of our own souls.

*a 1916 Catholic prayer book
**They say it's a prayer to the Virgin Mary but I believe it was written with Christ in mind. He is the fountain of light and all truth! Though the education system will teach us otherwise, He is the Truth

Sunrise, sunrise...

You set the earth into motion.
It spins on its axis...



"This I recall to my mind, therefore have I hope. It is of the Lord's mercies that we are not consumed, because His compassions fail not. They are new every morning: great is Thy faithfulness." - Lamentations 3:21-23

Give us clean hands, give us pure hearts

Psalm 24


3 Who may ascend the mountain of the LORD?
   Who may stand in his holy place?
4 The one who has clean hands and a pure heart,
   who does not trust in an idol
   or swear by a false god.[a]
 5 They will receive blessing from the LORD
   and vindication from God their Savior.
6 Such is the generation of those who seek him,
   who seek your face, God of Jacob.

He is strong enough to save

Acts 17:25  


25 And he is not served by human hands, as if he needed anything. Rather, he himself gives everyone life and breath and everything else.
