My health may fail, and my spirit may grow weak, but God remains the strength of my heart; he is mine forever (Psalm 73:26; NLT).
Lord,
My health is failing:
I’m weary, slow, and lame.
Please help me still to walk with you,
Rejoice,
And praise your name.
My spirit, Lord, is failing:
Forgetful, sad,
And weak.
Please help me still to wait for you,
To listen, pray,
And seek.
Yet, still, my heart is strong, Lord:
Forever,
We are one.
Please help me to accept my lot
With thanks:
Your will be done.
Rejoice always, pray continually, give thanks in all circumstances; for this is God’s will for you in Christ Jesus (1 Thessalonians 5:16-18; NIV).
We reach a stage where our ship no longer sails the high seas of life, but is in harbour, anchored securely to Christ. Yet our spirit still sails far and wide in prayers.
Yes, you’re right. I’m already there now. Xxxxx
