God, hear me when I lift up my hands in prayer unto thee. Hear me,

thy loving help and care."
Faith

ye, stand fast in the faith and quit ye like strong men." I Corinthians
16:13
"Dear Lord, I pray thee to keep me in the Faith of God. Help
my faith to be strong enough to hold me in prayer. Let faith help

with His love. I know His love makes my grain-affairs to grow high
and golden for the harvest. Make me a strong one in courage and faith."
Strength
"Trust ye in the Lord forever: For in the Lord is everlasting
strength." Isaiah 26:4
"O Lord, it is thy strength that upholds me, I cry unto thee
to be filled with thine own great strength. Fill me now with thy strength

from thee. I come to thee now to be filled with thy strength everlasting."

awake. Only thy Love can hold me safe while I sleep. Thou art my safety.

keeping me safe from all harm."

To whom be praise and dominion forever."

"Dear Lord, my heart is filled with praise unto thee. Thou only
art great and mighty. thy glory shines through me. I praise thy Holy
Name. Thou hast all power over me and my Soul glorifies and praises
thee."

receive, that your joy may be full."
John 16:24
"O Lord, thou art the Joy within my heart. The joy thou dost
give unto me I spread abroad as I go forth in thy name. As I walk,
I give thanks unto thee for leaving thy joy with me. thy Joy makes
me sing songs of love and of gladness. My heart is singing a new song
of joy. Thanks unto thee for the joy in my life.

of thy sun shine upon my household and upon my fields of labor. Thank
thee, Father, for the light of the sun by day, for the light of the

above me. thy Light goes before me. thy Light makes bright my Pathway
