Written by Elizabeth Cheney (1957-1940), an American pioneer and writer. This is her poem “The Robin and the Sparrow.”
Said the Robin to the Sparrow:
“I should really like to know
Why these anxious human beings
Rush about and worry so?”
Said the Sparrow to the Robin:
“Friend, I think that it must be
That they have no Heavenly Father
Such as cares for you and me.”
Prayer:
Written by Reuben Job, Norman Shawchuck, and John Mogabgab. This is a prayer based on Psalm 55 from their book “A Guide to Prayer for All Who Walk With God.”
Sometimes life seems unbearable. Our hearts and minds are weighed heavily upon, and we struggle to let go of all that burdens us for fear of losing the illusion of control we have over our lives. We call upon your name today, O God, that you may free us from worry and all that troubles our minds, bodies, and spirits. We put our trust in you, O God, this day and always. Amen.
