Christ Be with Us and Patrick

May the wisdom of God instruct you, and may it start with Proverbial Thought!

There is so much in this prayer from all over the Bible that point to God’s attributes and sovereignty!

In honor of his day, here is a prayer from St. Patrick:

May the Strength of God pilot us.
May the Power of God preserve us.
May the Wisdom of God instruct us.
May the Hand of God protect us.
May the Way of God direct us.
May the Shield of God defend us.
May the Host of God guard us.
Against the snares of the evil ones.
Against temptations of the world

May Christ be with us!
May Christ be before us!
May Christ be in us,
Christ be over all!
May Thy Salvation, Lord,
Always be ours,
This day, O Lord, and evermore.
Amen.

Patrick (387-461)

Lucky day! You can head to Proverbial Thought for some wisdom!

It is my pleasure to wish you a Happy Saint Patrick’s Day! Eventually I will give a brief history of the man, as I have with Saint Valentine (including last month), but for now the focus (as usual) is on our amazing Lord and Savior!

As we journey through the Hard Knocks Life, I think this poem is rather apropos. It serves as a good reminder of how our lives can be hard but worthwhile.

You said You forgive
i said i believe
my actions should show
it is true in me
You issued a call
to come and follow
i said i am here
to make myself low
to share the Truth of
Who my Savior is
the Man also God
Your first Son Jesus
Who died on a cross
to ransom my life
so i offer mine
to proclaim the Christ
and unfailing love
to a fallen world
in need of the God
Who is our Savior
