CHRISTIAN POEMS

Beyond Our Asking

By Helen Steiner Rice

More than hearts can imagine

or minds comprehend,

God's bountiful gifts

are our without end.

We ask for a cupful

when the vast sea is ours,

We pick a small rosebud

from a garden of flowers.

Whatever we ask for

falls short of God's giving,

For His greatness exceeds

every facet of living.

One of God's gifts to you is strength. We are told in Isaiah 40:29-31, "He (God) gives strength to the weary and increases the power of the weak. Even youth grow tired and weary, and young men stumble and fall; but those who hope in the Lord will renew their strength. They will run and not grow weary, they will walk and not be faint." Take a minute and ask God for strength and thank Him for his many blessings.
