Today

Rejoice always, pray constantly, give thanks in all circumstances.
(1 Thessalonians 5:16-18; NIV).

Lord,

1. Help us as we face today,
Whatever it may bring:

Success, or failure,
Pleasure, pain,

Sickness, sorrow,
Sin.

2. 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).
