This prayer took me by surprise as it arrived just after lunch last Sunday . It relates back to “Take my mind”, so here is a link in case you would like to check out that blog: https://wp.me/p45bCr-evh.
The LORD gives, and the LORD takes away. Blessed be the name of the LORD (Job 1:21; CSB).
Lord,
You take away my health,
My pleasures, and my liberty;
My comfort, and autonomy –
Yet will I cling to Thee.
Lord,
You take away my friends,
My neighbours, and my family;
My church, and my security –
Yet will I worship Thee.
Lord,
You take away my choice,
My strength, and my mobility;
My self-esteem, and dignity –
Yet will I follow Thee.
In death,
You’ll take away my days,
My body, my identity;
My individuality –
Yet will I trust in Thee.
Though he slay me, yet will I trust in him (Job 13:15; KJV).
