In Our Suffering, Lord Be Near: A 5-Day DevotionalSample
God of all gods,
Lord of all lords,
who can compare to You?
From days of old,
You have not changed.
Your words remain,
Your power is present;
there are none like You.
When I consider Your magnitude,
as I watch the world spin,
I can’t help but feel unworthy.
I struggle for purpose,
I worry about meaning.
My pursuits turn to dead ends;
my desires wither without water.
I fail to understand
that my ultimate longing for this life
brings emptiness.
Rather, I will rise with the morning,
and put my trust in You.
I will seek Your kingdom,
Your truth.
I will walk with the legs You gave me;
I will pursue Your Word.
For if Your will be done,
how will anything stand in the way?
Raise me out of this fog, O Lord,
lift me up on Your powerful wings.
Set my feet on solid ground.
I will pursue the will You have for me.
I refuse to sit back,
I will not waste,
I will go.
Amen.
