THE PRAYER OF MY HEART

"He shall feed his flock like a shepherd: he shall gather the lambs with his arm, and carry them in his bosom, and shall gently lead those that are with young."

Isaiah 40:11
King James Version

Rev. Cleland Boyd McAfee wrote a beautiful hymn "NEAR TO THE HEART OF GOD". I love the words in this hymn.

"There is a place of quiet rest, Near to the heart of God. A place where sin cannot molest, Near to the heart of God.

O Jesus, blest Redeemer, Sent from the heart of God, Hold us who wait before Thee Near to the heart of God."

The prayer of my heart is to be near to the heart of God. If ever we needed Him, it is now. We are living in a world filled with things that hurt Him and break His heart. It is time we do things and say things that make Him happy.
