The Faith of A Child - Mae Carden’s Meditations
All is well.
God is always near me.
God is always willing to help me.
Because I am one of His Children.
I am willing to follow God’s way
Because I ask Him to show me the way.
I have no fear for God loves me.
He watches over me
Because I am one of his children.
All is well.
I feel no jealously
Because each child is a child of God.
No one can take my place,
Nor can I take anyone’s place.
Each one of us is important to God.
Each one of us is on earth
To fulfill God’s plan.
When I remember to keep God important to me
All is well.
All is well.
I am happy.
Kindly thoughts of others, kindly deeds,
Give me a feeling of happiness.
I can make others happy
With thoughtful words and deeds,
And in turn I know happiness.
I must banish unkind words and thoughts,
For they are costly.
My life is the result of my thoughts.
What I think, I am.
I must refuse to think
Unkind or discouraging thoughts.
They must not be master in my life.
Deep in my heart
I know what I want of life.
I will think only fine thoughts,
and happy thoughts
That will make my life happy.
A cheery face gives joy.
It tells of contentment;
It tells of kindness;
It tells of willingness to share with others
The inner happiness it feels.
Anger bruises my soul.
Anger destroys my inner peace.
Anger wastes my energy.
Anger masters me.
Oh God, take away my anger.
Stinginess cramps my soul.
Stinginess shuts out my friend.
Stinginess smothers my kindliness.
Stinginess stifles me.
Oh God, take away my stinginess.
Greed makes me forget others
Greed forces me to seize what is useless to me.
Possessions cannot bring me happiness.
Oh God, take away my greed.
The world belongs to God.
All the beauty, the wonder, and the grandeur
Is ours to enjoy while we live.
Our soul is our only possession.
It is ours to make or mar with our thoughts and
words and deeds.
Oh God, help me to forgive all who hurt me.
Forgive me, dear Lord.
Help me to realize
That thou art always near me,
That thou will be my constant guide
If I will but ask Thee.
Oh God, who knowest all, who lovest all,
Humbly I offer my devotion to thee.
Oh let your heart be perfect,
Walk in all His ways;
Keep all his commandments
And His statutes as of this day.
Teach me, dear Lord, to walk with thee,
Always they follower to be.
Help me at home; help me at school;
Always to keep Thy Golden Rule.
