Always be joyful. Never stop praying. Be thankful in all circumstances (1 Thessalonians 5:16-18; NLT).
I am deeply discouraged, but I will remember you (Psalm 42:6; NLT).
“He will not fail you, or forsake you” (1 Chronicles 28:20; NLT).
God is love, and all who live in love live in God, and God lives in them (1 John 4:16; NLT).
Father,
Even as I ask you
To help me rejoice
Throughout the day,
I know I’ll fail.
Even as I ask you
To help me pray
Unceasingly,
I know I’ll fail.
And even as I ask you
To help me be thankful
In all circumstances,
I know I’ll fail.
Yet, despite all this,
I also know
That you will never fail me,
Nor forsake me –
For you are love.
In Jesus’ name,
Amen.
