I can't... God

I can't. I can't do it on my own. I can't care the way I must without You caring for me. I can't carry them through without You carrying me. I can't endure this trial without Your strength in me. I can't speak out in truth without Your Truth in me. I bind You to me, Lord of Hosts, that none but Your will be done to me. I bind You to me, Lord of Hosts, that Your will be set fast within me. And though You slay me, though I be beaten to the lowest place, though I seek Your face in vain, yet will I serve, yet will I call You "master", yet will I follow the path laid before me. None is more precious to me than this. (11/20/04, JH)

I bind unto myself today The power of God to hold and lead. His eye to watch, His might to stay, His ear to hearken to my need. The wisdom of my God to teach, His hand to guide, His shield to ward. The word of God to give me speech, His heavenly host to be my guard. The Mighty Three my protection be, Encircling me, You are around my life, my home, Encircling me. O Sacred Three, The Mighty Three. (Iona)
