Count it all Joy
“Count it all joy
When ye fall into
Divers temptations…”
Dear Lord, what an
impossible task this seems to be!
Remind me that joy
and happiness are different—
Happiness is temporal
and sometimes selfish, but joy is forever
Your very own example
proves that the Cross comes before Resurrection Morn
Let this mind be in
me that was displayed in Thee:
To accept the
Father’s will when things go well or ill
Understanding that
the true blessing is loving God and serving others
Hiding in You through
the mountains and valleys
Remind me that I so
often deceive myself—
It is easy to talk
the talk but help me to truly walk the
walk
Bridle my tongue to
the law of kindness
Strengthen my hands
to rescue the lost
Search my heart, know
my mind
Clean out all sinful
ways
May my single-minded
focus be
To yield myself to
Thee
Amen
