Here on earth you will have many trials and sorrows (John 16:33; NLT).
The Lord gave and the Lord has taken away; may the name of the Lord be praised (Job 1:21; NIV).
Shall we accept good from God, and not trouble? (Job 2:10; NIV).
Lord,
Please help me
To cast aside
Self-pity –
The most corrosive
State of mind
I can indulge.
