Strength

By Noah J Craig

Dear God,
Don’t let us fall.
Keep us strong by resting in Your peace,
Without which we are suffocated by anxiety.
Troubles on earth will not cease
Until You come back in majesty
So keep us strong,
Don’t let us fall.
Uproot the thorns that twist into my heart
And destroy the arrows that pierce my mind.
We have been Yours from the start,
Hold us close even beyond the end of time.
Keep us strong,
Don’t let us fall.
Hear the words that my mouth cannot utter,
Interpret every tear that falls from my eye.
Whatever the lot, let the will be done of the Father.
Remember us in Your kingdom when we die.
Keep us strong,
Don’t let us fall.
We have no strength to stand by ourselves alone
And worry seeks to pull us into depths below.
Prop us up by replacing the sand with stone,
Hold us to resist the strength of the undertow.
Keep us strong,
Don’t let us fall.
Deliver us from thoughts that we can’t control,
Deliver us into the understanding of Your sovereignty.
When the aching heart cries out in anguish, do console,
And in Your pierced hands hold my soul when it’s hard to breathe.
Keep us strong,
Don’t let us fall.
​Amen.
