[00:00:00] Let us pray, pray together on our knees, let us pray, pray together on our knees. And I fall for my knees with my face to the rise in sun, or the whole galaxy on the knees. Welcome to Words of Inspiration with your host and teacher, Audemit Lane.
[00:00:30] And now let's hear from Audemit Lane. Well, hello, yes, you know this is not the voice of legend Kerlach. Adrian Axe, today, feelin' for him today. May God bless our time together. What a wonderful, wonderful privilege we have of communicating together today.
[00:00:48] It's my privilege to bring you words of inspiration and as we've indicated for this week, our words of inspiration, our courtesy of one of our listeners, Dorothy Peterson, who sent us a series of poems, which I'm sharing with you each day this week.
[00:01:08] Today's poem is entitled, A Prayer for Those Who Will Live Alone. And I'm chosen to join that together with that another poem by Alde's H.H. Martinson entitled, When I Can't Sleep, for those two things and many instances go together.
[00:01:28] If you live alone, or you know somebody who lives alone, a family member, especially an aging person who lives alone, encourage them to listen in. Remember that if they miss the broadcast today, it can be found archived at HardvestInterDenational.org. A prayer for those who live alone.
[00:01:56] I live alone, dear Lord, stay by my side, in all my dead in ease, be thou my dead guide. Grant me good health. For that indeed I pray to carry on the work from day to day. Keep pure of my mind, my thoughts, my everyday life.
[00:02:18] My everyday life. Let me be kind on selfish in my neighbor's need. Spare me from fire, from flood malicious tongues, from tea, from fair and evil ones. I live alone, dear Lord. If sickness or an accident before, then humbly Lord, I pray, here thou my call,
[00:02:43] and when I'm feeling low or in despair, lift up my heart and help me in my prayer. I live alone, Lord. I live alone, dear Lord, I live alone. Get heaven of fear because I feel your presence. I feel your presence. I feel your presence ever near.
[00:03:05] My friend, before we read the prayer, the poem, when I can't sleep, let me take a moment and encourage you. If you know someone who lives alone and courage them to make connections, perhaps to get an emergency alert system,
[00:03:21] living alone can be dangerous if we don't have connections. If you live alone, be sure you have a neighbor of friend, somebody who will stop in and check on you. When I can't sleep, I used to go on sheep and I tossed my restless bed.
[00:03:43] But since I have known him, I quietly lie and talk to the shepherd instead. I pray for the sheep who have gone straight and ask him to tenderly hold the little sick lamps, so torn by the way, and bring them back to the fold.
[00:04:03] And he whispered to me as I self-learned peace sweet promises from his word, and my burdens grow less as I ask him to bless, where I know that the shepherd has heard, but had you who will have alone, to know that you are not alone. Amen.
[00:04:33] Now I'm coming home. Words of inspiration with oddly McLean is a ministry of harvest international. You may write to oddly, at harvest international, post-Ovusbox 660-90, Ocalaflora de 3448-78.
