Not Even a Sparrow

Are not five sparrows sold for two farthings, and not one of them is forgotten before God? But even the very hairs of your head are all numbered. Fear not therefore: ye are of more value than many sparrows.   Luke 12:6-7

in the morning, Your voice softly speaks,

telling me not to fear, bringing peace

to my troubled mind,

removing the chaos and confusion,

lighting up the darkness, proving that

You are real, reminding me that You see

everything I do, that not even a sparrow falls

without Your knowledge, and that I am worth

more than many sparrows;

help me overcome the spiritual darkness,

help me remember that the arrogance and

hypocrisy of others will pass, help me turn

the other cheek, silence my foolish lips, that

utter these words of vanity and evil, teach me

to control this flesh, that seeks only

self-fulfillment and self-preservation,

remove anything that is not of You,

let others see You through me;

let me be a son of the living God.
