Abba, I have tried to live it up
To make things right and turn it good
But every effort turns to ashes
I am weary and wary of where next to turn
I am hungry for something new and true
I ache for deliverance, I thirst for freedom;
Friends deserting, neighbors mocking
And family giving me up for dead.
I have spent all and now I am spent
My faith is sore and tired of trusting
My body weak and tired from trying
My courage is ailing from hoping
The miracle will come this time;
With this pill, with this last drop,
By this latest move, but all that answers
Is bleakness as I count my losses;
Myriad distress, defeats, grief and shame.
The smartest doctors left me poorer
The latest drugs made me sicker
I have reached my end, no more to try
Instead, I will lay me down, this fragile faith
This battered body, this grounded hope,
I bring all that’s left to You my King.
It’s not much an offering but it is all I have;
Mountain of mercy, deliver Your own
Fountain of compassion, refresh my soul
So that no matter what, when and how
My confidence and response remains
“Yes Lord! As it seems right in thy sight.”

Have you tried so hard to change something that refused to be changed? The harder you tried, the less the results. Well, the race is not to the swift, neither is the battle to the strong, nor bread to the wise. God orders our lives, no matter how it goes, as it seems right in His sight. When we resist the way He leads, we struggle, we suffer but when we say, “Yes Lord!” the Doctor schedules an appointment for us with the miracle we need and leads us to the place of fulfillment, in His time. May be this is the time to stop trying and start trusting His guidance, confident that no matter how chaotic the situation is, Abba knows what He is doing and is well able to deliver as promised. “Yes Lord!” puts an end to our labors and opens the door for divine intervention, the very thing you need to triumph.

Glory!
