When the waves of uncertainty and doubt threaten to crash over me and dispel everything that I know to be true, You remind me that You are good, no matter my circumstances.
When the thoughts of “what if’s” crowd into my mind, You remind me that You’re in control of those things yet unknown [to me.]
When everything seems to be dark, You bring a ray of sunshine and remind me that You are still God.
So I will trust You.
“Shall I take from Your hand your blessings, yet not welcome any pain? Shall I thank You for days of sunshine, yet grumble in days of
rain?
Shall I love You in times of plenty, then leave You in days of
drought? Shall I trust when I reap the harvest, but when winter winds blow, then
doubt?
Oh let Your will be done in me—in Your love I will abide. Oh I long for nothing else as long, as You are glorified!
Are You good only when I prosper, and true only when I’m filled? Are you King only when I’m carefree, and God only when I’m well?
You are good when I’m poor and needy. You are true when I’m parched and dry. You still reign in the deepest valley. You’re still God in the darkest night.
So quiet my restless heart. Quiet my restless heart. Quiet my restless heart…IN YOU.(As Long as You are Glorified, by Mark Altrogge, 2008)
