Bend low ,O Lord, and listen….

O Lord ,God of Israel,

sitting on your throne high above the angels

You alone are the God all the kingdoms of esrth

You created the heavens and the earth.

Bend low, O Lord, and listen.

Open your eyes, O Lord, and see.

O Lord, our God, we plead with you to save us from this power;

then all the kingdoms of this earth will know that you alone are God.

Isaiah

We may wish for an instant, miraculous deliverance of our problems, but it doesn’t usually happen that way. God most often uses quiet resources- the steady supply of a friend, the encouragement of a support group, the quiet leading of the Holy Spirit- to stregthen us in our recovery.

The Life Recovery Bible

Definition #71 Bridge

“Bridge Over Troubled Water”

When you’re weary, feeling small,
When tears are in your eyes, I will dry them all;
I’m on your side. When times get rough
And friends just can’t be found,
Like a bridge over troubled water
I will lay me down.
Like a bridge over troubled water
I will lay me down.

When you’re down and out,
When you’re on the street,
When evening falls so hard
I will comfort you.
I’ll take your part.
When darkness comes
And pain is all around,
Like a bridge over troubled water
I will lay me down.
Like a bridge over troubled water
I will lay me down.

Sail on silvergirl,
Sail on by.
Your time has come to shine.
All your dreams are on their way.
See how they shine.
If you need a friend
I’m sailing right behind.
Like a bridge over troubled water
I will ease your mind.
Like a bridge over troubled water
I will ease your mind.

Richard’s iPhone saw red.
I saw outside the window.
Don saw his iPhone.
Eileen saw opposite glances.
Richard saw our patience.
