Prayer & Praise
We have heard of your wondrous power,
the ways in which you make newness,
the ways in which you defeat death,
the ways in which you give life.
We trust you in the night while we sleep;
we rise early in the morn to find you alert, active, engaged.
You dazzle us day and night.
Yet … we notice the place where
you are curbed,
you are fringed,
you are held.
Your newness we do not see … so we wait.
Keep us easy at night in our wait.
Keep us vigilant in day while we wait.
Keep our wait fixed on you, you alone, you and none other … and we will rejoice. Amen.

doing much better my BP was 200/140 and pulse was about 135 or so, not really sure what happened its back down but still high had a long talk with my doctor time to make major life changes. Thanks all it was a miracle appointment and I did not have to go into emergency which is 1-5 K. Someone stole my bank info so that lead to a bit of stress they are selling the mobile home park so Im out the door after finally paying this place off. Just some major frustration because of my attitude towards God struggle with doctrine etc. Thanks all it really helped

That is good news, Brian.
Will keep praying for the rest of your situation.
Praying for you Brian.
I was reading a book of collected prayers from all of church history. It is “Prayers: Ancient and Modern” collected by Mary Wilder Tileston and published originally in 1897. I have a 1928 edition.
Anyways, I came upon a part of a prayer in it by Clement of Rome. I really liked it. I looked it up and here is a modern translation.
