GIVE YOUR STRENGTH TO YOUR SERVANT
It takes genuine humility to admit that we are poor and needy;
One hopes in God’s mercy, though he may seem to be mighty.
The appeal to the Lord’s mercy is correct and insightful;
Mercy is but one aspect of His attributes that are wonderful.
Genuine humility, however, is not easily found;
Human pride and conceit, unfortunately abound.
To think of self as nothing more than a maidservant’s son;
Anything less than humility would cause one to be undone.
The soul must also humbly wait for God’s answer to be given;
There is no way in which we can rush the Lord of Heaven.
The wise person thus pleads for the strength of God;
To bear and to endure what is allowed by the LORD.
The Lord may yet give a sign to indicate His approval;
But one must not yield to fears that could cause upheaval.
The soul must continue to focus on the attributes of the LORD;
It is enough that our prayers are heard by our Almighty God!
