Yesterday I picked up a book entitled Treasury of Prayer...a collection of prayers, prose and poetry from a wide variety of sources...most of them good.
Amy Carmichael is quoted often...thankfully!
Here's one of hers:
THINK THROUGH ME
Think through me, thoughts of God,
My Father, quiet me,
Till in Thy holy presence, hushed,
I think Thy thoughts with Thee.
Think through me, thoughts of God,
That always, everywhere,
The stream that through my being flows,
May homeward pass in prayer.
Think through me, thoughts of God,
And let my own thoughts be
Lost like the sand-pools on the shore
Of the eternal sea.
- Amy Carmichael
I've always enjoyed Amy Carmichael's writings....she had a deep walk with the Lord.

Hear my prayer, O Lord....
Thanks for the Amy Carmichael quote. I have her Edges of His Ways on my nightstand. Very inspiring and thoughtful.
