Not On Our Own

 

Their Redeemer is strong;

the LORD of hosts

             is His name.

             Jeremiah 50. 34

(Do we remember

    Who walks with us?

            The Almighty God.

Even in this difficult situation.

When we attempt to go it alone,

       anxiety rushes in,

       promises to solve it,

       and then abandons us

           on the side of the road.

But our Redeemer is strong.

   God is the Almighty One.

His strength grants us

     the courage to face

     what is staring us down.

And God redeems

   what we only see as impossible.

Trust Me in this.)

O LORD,

May Your strength in us

   not just give us courage,

but be a strong witness to others

      of Who You are.

Transform our work, our words,

    and even our attitudes

            to point  them to You.

You are our strength

and the author of marvelous things,

most of which we are unaware of.

Help us to turn to You.

          even now,

          even in this.
