God, you are my strength,
When I feel like I am not enough.
You are the voice inside me that let’s me keep going,
The part of me that believes it will be okay.
And God, I need that strength!
There are still too many days when I lose my faith;
My faith in myself and faith in that part of me
that nudges me to follow your path.
And I remember the time when I gave up;
When I stopped believing it could get better;
Stopped believing in your power to create change;
And I decided I was done…
But God you weren’t done with me!
You sent angels to protect and to bring me back.
Angels in unlikely places and in surprising ways
To bring me out of the darkness and into your light!
So, God, I sing your praises!
I give thanks that you chose me,
and opened my heart so I could choose you,
And be open once again to the potential for joy.
God, you are with me,
To offer me strength whenever I am feeling weak,
And for that I am eternally grateful.
