You have called me to this place –
This assignment at this time.
It doesn’t always make much sense to me.
But You are Good
And You are Loving, and You have a perfect plan;
If only I could see all that You see.
…still, I will trust Your Sovereign Hands.
I can’t see how this will work;
Sometimes I’m so unsure.
I’ve worried myself sick yet once again.
And then I hear a sweet clear note –
A sparrow sings to say
Your love is so much greater for all men.
…and then I rest in Your Sufficient Hands.
A flood of fears of the unknown
Leak down my cheeks sometimes.
I stand here wondering what I am to do.
I know not what tomorrow holds
Or what the next day brings,
But I know each day is no surprise to You.
…and I find peace in Your Omniscient Hands.
When mistakes from yesterday
Or the fears from my tomorrow
Blind me to the blessings of right now,
I pray I will remember
Your new mercy every morning
And Your grace that’s still enough for me somehow.
...and I will find joy in Your Loving Hands.
And when I’m feeling tired and worn,
Exhausted by this world,
Tossed by the waves and spun out of control,
I’ll remember what You’ve promised,
And I will cling to you.
You are my Hope, an Anchor for my soul.
…and I am sheltered in Your Steady Hands.
I will give You every moment –
Today and all the rest.
Hands open, trusting you all of my days.
Each thing I do, each word I say
Will be an act of worship
For You alone are worthy of my Praise.
…and I fall to my knees in Your Perfect Hands.
You are my Abba Father
Jehovah Jireh, My Provider –
Adonai, Lord. Shalom, You are my Peace.
Jehovah Rapha, You’re my Healer.
El Shadai, Almighty God.
El Olam – the One True God – will never cease.
And You have called me to this place –
This assignment at this time.
It doesn’t always make much sense to me.
But You are YAHWEH,
My Lord.
My Rock, and My Redeemer.
I’m in your hands – no other place I’d rather be.
Oh, if we could only see His big picture……. This would all be so much easier. Still…….. knowing how much He loves us and that we can trust in every one of His promises, will be enough for now.
I so love what you have reminded me of in this…That my Redeemer LIVES! He is the one that sustains me in time of trouble, He is the one that shelters me from the storms of life, He is the one that says, “come on up” when I need to sit in His ever loving lap. HE IS THE ONE!!
That is beautiful./ I’m printing it so I can refer back to it.
Thank you so much for posting this! I am glad I came across this beautiful poem/prayer. It moved me to cry. I hope it is okay with you if I wrote it down for myself to read from time to time.
Melissa, I’m always thankful when words that were meaningful to me mean something to someone else, too. 🙂
That was beautiful Holly. Thanks for sharing it.
