Rejoice always, pray constantly, give thanks in all circumstances (1 Thessalonians 5:16-18; NIV).
Lord,
Help us as we face today,
Whatever it may bring:
Success, or failure,
Pleasure, pain,
Sickness, sorrow,
Sin.
May we share it all with you,
Accepting gain and loss:
Rejoicing, praying,
Thanking you,
And taking up
Our cross.
The Lord gives and the Lord takes away. Blessed be the name of the Lord (Job 1:21; CSB).
If any of you wants to be my follower, you must turn from your selfish ways, take up your cross daily, and follow me (Luke 9:23; NLT).
May we accept all that comes our way, surrendering it as a sacrifice to His Glory each day.
Totally, yes! XXXXXXX
