The Lord gives and the Lord takes away. Blessed be the name of the Lord (Job 1:21; CSB).
My Father, my Mother,
My Sister, my Brother,
My Shepherd, my Lover –
I praise you.
My Saviour, my Maker,
My only Creator,
My Giver, my Taker –
I trust you.
My Word, and my Temple,
My Guide, and my Counsel,
My God: transcendental –
I love you.
You have allowed me to suffer much hardship, but you will restore me to life again (Psalm 71:20; NLT).
