In All Circumstances

She Reads Truth: Give Thanks, Day 6

The steps of a man are established by the LORD, when he delights in His way; though he fall, he shall not be cast headlong, for the LORD upholds his hand.  I have been young, and now am old, yet I have not seen the righteous forsaken or his children begging for bread.  He is ever lending generously, and his children become a blessing. 

~Psalm37:23-26

Keep your life free from love of money, and be content with what you have, for he has said, "I will never leave you nor forsake you."  So we can confidently say, "The Lord is my helper; I will not fear; what can man do to me?"

~Hebrews13:5-6 

Gracious God,

Thank you that you are the provider of my every need. Even though we may, from time to time, experience a tightness in our finances, you still bless us abundantly. We have never lacked. We can give generously. There is no physical thing that we are in need of. And even the non-physical: friendships, guidance, love, health, these too, you provide. 

You have always been faithful in the past and I can trust you to be faithful in the future. You are a faithful God. 

Lord, help me to store up evidence of your grace and goodness now for the days when I am struggling to trust you. Help me to remember to be thankful in all my circumstances because you never leave me nor forsake me. And therefore, I should not be afraid. 

Oh Lord, you care for all the earth

The flowers and the birds

You provide their daily bread

How much more you have cared for me

You met my greatest need

When Christ hung on the tree

So I know that you'll provide for me

So God, I trust in you

I trust in you, I trust in you

In whatever I must face,

I will trust your sovereign grace

I will always trust in you

Oh Lord, when all my hopes and plans

Are taken from my hands

And I cannot see the way

I will rest in your sovereign plan

And bless your gracious hand

I know your promise stands

That I'll see your goodness in this land

So God, I trust in you

I trust in you, I trust in you

In whatever I must face

I will trust your sovereign grace

I will always trust in you
