Dear heavenly Lord, I’ve been at it for a while now, The grind, the struggle.
Now I’ve reached a place Where you ask me for more.
How can this be? Haven’t I given my all? I look back and see Years of work, tears and sacrifice.
And yet, I also see bursts of your glory.
Times when you lifted me up And held my heart close Against this hurt and angry world.
And in my worst moments In my failure, my shame You told me I’m still yours.
So now I dig deep again To where faith lives.
The place where nothing can Make me forget my Lord Jesus.
From there I get my strength, Where the Bread of Life feeds me, And the Spirit sets me free.
Show me, Oh Lord, how to rise And meet the challenge of this time.
May I mature and grow stronger As you call me to the task.
I got this. And you have me. In Jesus name, Amen.
