I awoke to the voice of the auctioneer
trying to drive up my bid on the price of this day
But this is the day that You have made
and I can’t seem to rejoice when I’m counting the cost
*
In the pre-dawn light I call out to You
because You are my strength
Your presence scatters the shadows
and silences every dissenting opinion
*
I am wary of what the day might bring
but You have gone before me
I am anxious about situations in my life
but You are already working “all things” to my good
*
I am mindful of my weaknesses
but You are faithfully completing the good work You’ve begun in me
I am aware of dark forces working against me
but if You are for me, who can be against me
*
I wonder at the depth of my faith
but You remind me that You are it’s Author and Finisher
As my feet reach the floor I resolve to do my best
but my best is only good enough when it’s in Your hands
*
You are my hope
