Inspired in part by this morning's Ann Voskamp's FB daily devotionals,
after a night of finding MUCH to worry pray about!
1 Pet.5:7
...casting all your care upon Him, for He cares for you.
Psalm 23:4
'Thou art with me'
Sometimes these verses above slip our mind
as we flounder in the gutter of
Worry/concern!
Today's prayer;
Dear Lord, Help us to cling to You
With faith's tenacity
But if faith's grip should slip, to see
It is You holding we
Amen~
What joy to know, no matter what
We are not all alone
The One who made us never does
Forsake His very own
What comfort sweet to cast our care
On Him, who sees and knows
Then find the faith to leave it where
No foe can interpose
What peace to release to His keep
The way that we must go
Where, though the valley seems so deep
What confidence to know
That with us IS a Counselor,
A Comforter and Friend
One who equips His follower
His edicts to defend
What love, that He does not cast out
We, prone to doubt and fear
But hears us; we don’t need to shout
He understands a tear
What love that He should pay the price
And that His law would be
Mercy, rather than sacrifice
To honour His decree
