December The Sixth

GRANT unto us, Almighty God, Thy peace that passeth understanding; that we, amid the storms and troubles of this our life, may rest in Thee, knowing that all things are in Thee, under Thy care, governed by Thy will, guarded by Thy love; so that with a quiet heart we may see the storms of life, the cloud and the thick darkness; ever rejoicing to know that the darkness and the light are both alike to Thee. Guide, guard, and govern us even to the end, that none of us may fail to lay hold upon the immortal life - Amen.

-- GEORGE DAWSON

  1. Do you remember that little Bible song, "I've got His joy, joy, joy down in my heart"? The next verse was "I've got the peace that passeth understanding down in my heart".
    I love the flow of that phrase, a peace that passeth understanding.
    One of my mother's favourites.
    Thanks so much for this blog.
