Salient Thought for the Day.

Never raise voice or hand when adverse things come. Try to endure all for the sake of God. This will bring true strength.

Lines to Memorize.

When Thou dost stand behind me, my whoie being is vibrant with strength;

Life’s upheavals vanish and world’s onslaughts touch me not.

Teach me how I may keep Thee with me always.

I am ever with thee, but thou knowest it not;

Thou dost not look toward Me with Thy inner eye.

Lesson.

From the lack of fortitude and self-control we bring misfortune on ourselves. When people thwart us, what a consolation to know that we still have our place in God’s arms. No matter what may befall us, it is wonderful to know that we have our union with God. We are partakers of a divine heritage.

Prayer.

Supreme Lord, I pray to Thee with yearning heart,

Do Thou fasten my life to the Path of Truth.

Thou only canst make me firm and enduring.

Make Thy way known

And grant that I may walk in it, looking always to Thee for guidance.

May I never turn my gaze away from Thee.
