The Heart's Prayer

By Thomas Moore

As down in the sunless retreats of the ocean
Sweet flowers are springing no mortal can see,
So deep in my soul the still prayer of devotion,
Unheard by the world, rises silent to Thee.
As still to the star of its worship, though clouded,
The needle points faithfully o'er the dim sea,
So dark when I roam in this wintry world shrouded,
The hope of my spirit turns trembling to Thee.

Moore was executed for his faith. Do you have a still prayer of devtion in your soul? Does your needle point faithfully to your hope in Christ? Pray as if it does. Pray that GBC would have such devoted depth and follow such a faithful guide.
