Strength
by
Barbara Philbrook
Lord grant
me the strength that will see me through,
please do not allow my eyes to drift away from you.
I know
that free will allows me to choose your guidance each and
every day,
I feel so tired at times that I fear I'll forget to
make that choice as I pray.
The spirit
of fear is not what you want me to feel,
help me to seek your truth's so that I may only allow
into my life what is pure and what is real.
There are
things that I do not understand nor that I would
choose to be,
but you are in control and the end from the beginning is
what you see.
You would
never allow anything into my life that would be more than
I could bear,
and when things get tough I receive strength as I seek
you in prayer.
I
recognize that our character is formed by the trials and
tribulations that we go through,
and it is with joy in my heart that I give thanks for
these to you.
Lord there
is not anything in me that deserves such loving kindness
from you,
but I accept the love the patience the sacrifice
everything that you do.
Yes I
recognize and am grateful for all that you have done in
the past for me,
and I offer Honor and Glory to you Father Son & Holy
Spirit all 3.
Now as I
face new trials and tribulations that are yet to come my
way,
I ask that you send me the strength that will sustain me
and get me through each day.
Please
guide my steps and the example that I set,
that what my children will witness will give them peace
that they haven't experienced as yet.
Lord my
precious children that you so lovingly lent to me,
are seeing how I react to whatever trials and
temptations happen to be.
Dear
Father it is my earnest prayer that everything I do or
say that they may see,
will teach them to seek all the strength they need
from thee.
