Many of you know that I have been away for a travel adventure. Sadly, I came home with a serious ear infection with vertigo, so am unable to post my regular devotions at this time. Am praying for the Great Physician to heal my condition quickly and throughly so that I can resume a normal schedule soon. In the meantime, I covet your prayers! The following devotional prayer, “Divine Support,” from The Valley of Vision, speaks so well to what is on my heart:
“Thou art the blessed God, happy in Thyself,
source of happiness in Thy creatures,
my maker, benefactor, proprietor,
upholder.
Thou hast produced and sustained me,
supported and indulged me,
saved and kept me;
Thou art in every situation able to meet
my needs and miseries.
“May I live by Thee,
live for Thee,
never be satisfied with my Christian progress
but as I resemble Christ;
and may conformity to His principles, temper,
and conduct grow hourly in my life.
Let Thy unexampled love constrain me into
holy obedience,
and render my duty my delight.
If others deem my faith folly,
my meekness infirmity,
my zeal madness,
my hope delusion,
my actions hypocrisy,
may I rejoice to suffer for Thy name.
“Keep me walking steadfastly towards the country
of everlasting delights,
that paradise-land which is my true inheritance.
Support me by the strength of heaven
that I may never turn back,
or desire false pleasures
that will disappear into nothing.
As I pursue my heavenly journey by Thy grace
let me be known as a (woman) with no aim
but that of a burning desire for Thee,
and the good and salvation
of my fellow (woman and) men.”
