Be near me when all else is from me drifting;   Earth, sky, home's pictures, days of shade and shine, And kindly faces to my own uplifting   The love that answers mine. I have but Thee, my Father! let Thy spirit   Be with me then to comfort and uphold; No gate of pearl, no branch of palm I merit,   Nor street of shining gold. Suffice it if -- my good and ill unreckoned,   And both forgiven through Thy abounding grace - I find myself by hands familiar beckoned   Unto my fitting place.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/7917</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[As a man thinks in his heart, so is he.

A quarter of an hour of this prayer, brings you out of your closet a new man; your heart feels the good of it; and every return of such a prayer, gives new life and growth to all your virtues, with more certainty, than the dew refreshes the herbs of the field: whereas, overlooking this true prayer of your own heart, and only at certain times taking a prayer that you find in a book, you have nothing to wonder at, if you are every day praying, and yet every day sinking further and further under all your infirmities.
