In this episode of the guided lectio divina podcast, we’re using a blessing by Robert van de Weyer.

Lord of my heart,
Give me vision to inspire me,
That working or resting,
I may always think of You.
Lord of my heart,
Give me light to guide me, that,
At home or abroad,
I may always walk in Your way.

Repost of Episode 790

In this episode, we’re concluding our series using selections from the poetry of George MacDonald. Today we’re reading November stanza 1 from “The Diary of an Old Soul.”

Thou art of this world, Christ. Thou know’st it all;
Thou know’st our evens, our morns, our red and gray;
How moons, and hearts, and seasons rise and fall;
How we grow weary plodding on the way;
Of future joy how present pain bereaves,
Rounding us with a dark of mere decay,
Tossed with a drift of summer-fallen leaves.

Repost of Episode 789

In this episode, we’re continuing our series using selections from the poetry of George MacDonald. Today we’re reading October stanza 27 from “The Diary of an Old Soul.”

Take from me leisure, all familiar places;
Take all the lovely things of earth and air
Take from me books; take all my precious faces;
Take words melodious, and their songful linking;
Take scents, and sounds, and all thy outsides fair;
Draw nearer, taking, and, to my sober thinking,
Thou bring’st them nearer all, and ready to my prayer.

Repost of Episode 788

In this episode, we’re continuing our series using selections from the poetry of George MacDonald. Today we’re reading April stanza 13 from “The Diary of an Old Soul.”

Make me all patience and all diligence;
Patience, that thou mayst have thy time with me;
Diligence, that I waste not thy expense
In sending out to bring me home to thee.
What though thy work in me transcends my sense–
Too fine, too high, for me to understand–
I hope entirely. On, Lord, with thy labour grand.

Repost of Episode 787

In this episode, we’re continuing our series using selections from the poetry of George MacDonald. Today we’re reading February stanza 29 from “The Diary of an Old Soul.”

Gather my broken fragments to a whole,
As these four quarters make a shining day.
Into thy basket, for my golden bowl,
Take up the things that I have cast away
In vice or indolence or unwise play.
Let mine be a merry, all-receiving heart,
But make it a whole, with light in every part.

Repost of Episode 786

In this episode, we’re continuing our series using selections from the poetry of George MacDonald. Today we’re reading January stanza 5 from “The Diary of an Old Soul.”

Thy fishes breathe but where thy waters roll;
Thy birds fly but within thy airy sea;
My soul breathes only in thy infinite soul;
I breathe, I think, I love, I live but thee.
Oh breathe, oh think,–O Love, live into me;
Unworthy is my life till all divine,
Till thou see in me only what is thine.
