Lord, Grant Us Time
 
 
Time:  to spend in the prayer closet!

Time:  to spend feasting on the Words (Bible)!

Time:  to search for the best in the worst of men!

Time:  to fulfill the great commission without taking shortcuts!

Time:  to give a stranger a helping hand!

Time:  to consider 'kindness' the best solution for most problems!

Time:  to think before putting our mouths in gear!

Time:  to notice someone's heavy load and share it!

Time:  to listen to another person's view!

Time:  to consider the consequences before we compromise!

Time:  to weigh every decision in life carefully!

Time:  to mend a broken doll, and a broken heart!

Time:  to hug Mother's neck when we're in a hurry!

Time:  to wait for the kiss from a small child!

Time:  to figure out a way to love our enemies!

Time:  to go out of our way to make an enemy a friend!

Time:  to sit down and meditate when in doubt!

Time:  to forgive, and grace to forget!

Time:  to apologize, and say "I'm sorry" when we're wrong!

Time:  to conquer pride before it destroys our testimony!

Time:  to meet every temptation of Satan, and strength to overcome the temptor!

Time:  to consider all of our allotted time for Your Glory; and our good!
