A Prayer (1907) by Priscilla Jane Thompson:

“Oh, Lord! I lift my heart,
In gratitude, to Thee
For blessings, manifold,
Thou hast bestowed on me.

When conflicts raged within,
Too blinding too express,
Thou pitied my still tongue,
And soothed my heart to rest.

Keep me within thy care;
Compel me, to the right;
‘Tis sweet to walk with Thee,
In darkness or in Light.”

“God, I want to grow in faith. I don’t want to remain stagnant or slip backward. I want to develop a faith that enriches my life, overflows to my neighbors, and in some significant way adds something positive to the world. Through this, I want my life to honor you. Help me, when difficulties come, not to give up, let go, or turn back. Help me be like a child, learning and growing, resilient and energetic, all the days of my life. Amen.”

"Thou loving Father, everything goes wrong for me and yet Thou art love. I have even failed in holding fast to this - that Thou art love, and yet Thou art love. Wherever I turn, the only thing that I cannot do without is that Thou art love, and that is why, even when I have not held fast to the faith that Thou art love, I believe that Thou dost permit through love that it should be so, O infinite Love."

“O Lord Jesus Christ, Thou didst not come to the world to be served, but also surely not to be admired or in that sense to be worshipped. Thou wast the way and the truth—and it was followers only Thou didst demand. Arouse us therefore if we have dozed away into this delusion, save us from the error of wishing to admire Thee instead of being willing to follow Thee and to resemble Thee."

The steeple installation is complete. We still have some drywall repairs to complete.
