Salient Thought
for the Day
A hindrance ceases to be a hindrance when we face it with courage.
Lines to Memorize
Thou dost change all earth’s harsh notes into heaven’s unspeakable sweetness.
At Thy touch a broken reed sounds Divine harmony,
And mortal voice sings immortal song.
Lesson
In all entanglements, in the midst of turbulence and adversity, we can walk safely if we have spiritual courage and unfaltering faith. Those who are calculating and dependent on their own strength stumble many times; while those who are fearless and trusting and unspoiled by the vanities of the world go through the hardest experiences with undaunted spirit. They triumph over every obstacle.
Prayer
Almighty One, help me to turn my whole thought and aspiration to You.
You know my innermost struggles and difficulties.
You alone can remove them.
Open my heart to Your beneficent influence.
Grant unto me an undaunted spirit.
May I live this day bravely, looking to You for strength and wisdom to meet each step.
