To hold a cross


After a very demanding day on Saturday, plus a migraine, I slept late yesterday. The migraine continued, so I really didn’t expect to receive a prayer, but God can always surprise me:

The message of the cross is foolish to those who are headed for destruction! But we who are being saved know it is the very power of God (1 Corinthians 1:18; NLT). 

Just to hold a cross, Lord,
Is to pray,

Knowing you are with me
Night and day,

Living all around me
And within:

Safe here, in the shadow
Of your wing. 

How precious is your unfailing love, O God! All humanity finds shelter in the shadow of your wings (Psalm 36:7; NLT).

  • To know God is carrying all of us by holding on to his right hand is sufficient for me. What more do we want?

    • I’m so sorry – It’s been such a dreadful week that I failed to see your lovely message. Yes, no matter what happens, and no matter how we are, God carries us every step of the way in His hand. We lack nothing XXXXXX
