Today’s prayer is the second of four linked poems which arrived together on New Year’s Eve. If you didn’t see the first, here is a link to it: https://wp.me/p45bCr-d8z.
Give thanks in all circumstances; for this is God’s will for you in Christ Jesus (1 Thessalonians 5:18; NIV).
For all he gives each day
Say, “Thank you, Jesus”.
For all he takes away,
Say just the same.
No matter what goes wrong,
Say, “Thank you, Jesus” –
Accept his will,
And bless his holy name.
I want your will to be done, not mine (Luke 22:42; NLT).
Naked I came from my mother’s womb, and naked I will leave this life. The LORD gives, and the LORD takes away. Blessed be the name of the LORD (Job 1:21; CSB).
