Keep My Thinking Right



Author: Pastor Tom Battle
 
Lord, as I lay on my bed at night
Help me to keep my thinking right.
 
Lord, as I arise in the morning bright
Help me to keep my thinking right.
 
Lord, as I go about my daily life
Help me to keep my mind from strife.
 
Lord, as I face friends, enemies, and peers
Please give my mind joy rather than tears.
 
As my thoughts travel through the years
May I look back and say I yielded not to fears.
 
May the thoughts in me not push and shove
Instead, may they be gentle like the Dove.
 
Lord, above all, give me thoughts of love.
May the mind in me be like Yours above.
 
In Jesus' name, Amen
 
AND
 
The Law of Love Supreme
Author: © Wanda LaCasse
 
The Spirit rules in heaven
The law of love supreme,
It's fruits down here developed
Completing heaven's theme.
 
Each trial that we go through
Be it yours or a brother,
Brings depth to God's commandment
That we love one another.
 
For only by being offended can
We "really" learn how to forgive,
And learning to love the unlovable,
Like our blessed Savior did.
 
In the world, yet not of the world,
Training for the judges we will be,
Heaven is our court house,
And earth our school you see.
 
All evidence in, and the defendant
Has surrendered his will it seems.
The verdict is fair, for the case is tried
Where the law of love is supreme.
 
“My son, keep thy father’s commandment, and forsake not the law of thy mother:” Proverbs 6:20
