(320 pages) "Trust in the LORD with all thine heart; and lean not unto thine own understanding. In all thy ways acknowledge Him, and He shall direct thy paths." ~ Proverbs 3:5, 6 ~ stand on the brink of a miracle, An event that will change my life, The greatest gift of love, that our Lord above, Can bestow on a husband and wife. I stand on the brink of creation, A father I soon will be, A position of great importance, And responsibility. Charged with the physical well-being, And spiritual needs of my family, I ask for wisdom and guidance, I ask for Thy help, Father please. I ask that my child be healthy and whole, Free from sickness and disease, I ask that both mother and child, Live long fruitful lives, Father please. I ask for patience when my day is long, And my mind is a raging sea, I ask to be tender, loving and mild, When I handle my child, Father please. I ask for courage and power, To defeat my enemies, To protect my family in times of danger, I ask for Thy strength, Father please. I ask for the Holy Spirit, To help teach my child about Thee, As I teach her Thy way, and how she should pray, I ask for Thy love Father please. I thank Thee dear Lord for Thy blessings, For Thy grace and tender mercies, I ask for the shelter of Thy mighty hand, I ask, keep us safe, Father please. I ask Dear Lord that You help me be, A fraction as good a Father as Thee. I humbly ask on bended knee, In Christ Holy name I ask, Father please. ~ Calvin Hart ~ You may republish this without permission, provided it remains free, accredited and unaltered.
