Father, hear the prayer we offer:
Nor for ease that prayer shall be,
But for strength that we may ever
Live our lives courageously.
Not forever by still waters
Would we idly, quiet stay;
But would smite the living fountains
From the rocks along our way.
Be our strength in hours of weakness,
In our wand'rings be our guide;
Thro' endeavor, failure, danger,
Father, be Thou at our side.
Let our path be bright or dreary,
Storm or sunshine be our share;
May our souls in hope unweary
Make Thy work our ceaseless prayer.
By Love M. Willis
This hymn is a prayer that I am asking the Lord to help me pray. I love this song because it is so unselfish. The writer captures what the heart of a Christian should desire. The Lord is our portion and we should be quite content to let Him lead and be thankful for that whether it be hard or easy.

Well said - the hymn and your comments. 2 Cor. 11.
It is easy to cry out to the Lord when we need something. It takes a deeper relationship to be continually thankful in all circumstances. Thanks for your thoughts.
