What Wonder Fulfilled



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
