PREPARING THINE HEART

HH, Sir Godfrey Gregg D.Div

“Trust in the Lord with all thine heart; and lean not unto thine own understanding. ⁶ In all thy ways acknowledge him, and he shall direct thy paths..” Proverbs 3:5-6

As, for instance, when you open His Word. Then say, Speak, Lord, for Your servant hears. Bow your heart to understand; set your mind to consider; subdue your will to obey. And the Spirit of the Lord will talk with you through the sacred page and lead you into untrodden territories of truth and grace.

And when you kneel to pray. Then, instead of formalism and routine, let there be adoration, confession, trust, and hope. And you will rise from your knees, having indeed seen the vision of Christ.

And when you go into the world. Duties will demand much of you; perplexities will arise; temptations will assail your constancy. Then lift up your soul to the hills of Heaven. And you shall have help, guidance, calmness, victory. Nothing will find you unprepared and at a loss. Nothing will by any means hurt you.

BE WHO GOD CREATED YOU TO BE

And when sorrow darkens your lot, and death comes near. Then consult your Lord; be much with Him; let Him know all your needs. And you shall be cleansed by the fires. And through the valley, you shall find a straight path to the Father’s house.

“I forgot,” Archbishop Frank Simon confesses, “to ask special help on the day’s work, and so the chariot wheels drove heavily.” In all your ways acknowledge Him — this is the one secret of triumph.
