For when we kneel and cast our care Upon our God in humble prayer,   With strengthened souls we rise, Sure that our Father Who is nigh, To hear the ravens when they cry,   Will hear His children's cries. O may these anxious hearts of ours The lesson learn from birds and flowers,   And learn from self to cease, Leave all things to our Father's will, And in His mercy trusting still,   Find in each trial peace!]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/6728</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[As I approve of a youth that has something of the old man in him, so I am no less ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/1879]]></link><description><![CDATA[As I approve of a youth that has something of the old man in him, so I am no less pleased with an old man that has something of the youth.
