Christ Be With Me

March Break? I don’t think so. Not for me anyway. The last few days have been very stressful. Something that needed to be ‘dealt’ with (and is not so easy to deal with) sort of crept up on me and it has not gone over so smoothly.

Sometimes I just feel like giving up. Yesterday I was close to tears I was so frustrated. I turned to the piano even though I wasn’t in the mood and started playing from my praise book. I came across this awesome song that I learned last fall. I think it’s going to be played a lot in the next little while.

St. Patrick’s Prayer

By St. Patrick and Dwight Beal

Christ be with me and within me

Christ behind me and before

Christ beside me and to win me

Christ to comfort and restore

Christ beneath me and above me

Christ in quiet and in danger

Christ in hearts of all that love me

Christ in mouth of friend and stranger

Christ in every heart that’s broken

Christ in every joy and pain

Christ in every word that’s spoken

Christ is sun and moon and rain

Christ in resting and in rising

Christ the Lord of all my life

Christ to guide me and to shield me

Christ protecting me in strife

“Be anxious for nothing, but in everything by prayer and supplication, with thanksgiving, let your request be make known to God; and the peace of God, which surpasses all understanding, will guard you hearts and minds through Christ Jesus.” Philippians 4:6-7
