Sometimes
by Barbara Philbrook

Sometimes there are things we just don't understand,
and we may even forget Lord You hold us in the palm of Your hand.

Help us to remember we go through none of this alone,
help us to remember all of the love You've shown.

Help us to see that just because we can't tell the end from the beginning,
does not necessarily mean we are guilty of sinning.

Help us to remember You are the supplier of our faith and trust,
and when we need more You will supply it without any fuss.

Please don't let us doubt how much You care,
we need to remember that You have always been there.

Lord we surrender ourselves and those we love so much,
into Your most capable hands for Your loving touch.

Teach us to appreciate what we have and to count our blessings each day,
open our eyes so we see each other in a positive way.

Help us not to be driven further apart,
accept each of our commitments to rededicate our heart.

Thank you for allowing us to come before You,
and for loving and caring for us the way that You do.
