144:4.6 Prayer is an antidote for harmful introspection. At least, prayer as the Master 
taught it is such a beneficent ministry to the soul. Jesus consistently employed the 
beneficial influence of praying for one's fellows. The Master usually prayed in 
the plural, not in the singular. Only in the great crises of his earth life did Jesus 
ever pray for himself.

Self-inspection

The snow fell, continues falling.
The cars I see are all just crawling.
Blowing snow makes vision hard.
I can’t see across my yard.

I am prepared to stay at home.
There is no need for me to roam.
I got things done, now home is fun.
No need to hurry or to run.

There’s beauty in the blanket white.
It covers ugly from our sight.
White extends in all directions.
What a time for introspection!
A day to do exactly that.
I need less calories, that’s a fact!

Improving self will rule my day.
Strive to find a better way.
Lost within my own thinking.
Find my soul, that is me ticking.
To be whom I find deep within.
I’m not too good at staying thin!

Better with accepting self
And dealing with the cards I’m dealt.
Improving and adapting, too.
Life improves by what we do.

Thank you, Father, honesty
Begins within, begins with Ye.
You know exactly who I am.
You’re with my soul, and understand.
