Faith and Hope

 

Lord, there is this ambivalence

I know you are my shield and protector

My hope and comfort

Yet when I look at my circumstances

All I see is defeat and ending

Without hope of reconciliation

 

How shall I respond?

Though the fig tree does not blossom

And there be no herd in the stall

Still will I rejoice in the Lord

You , my Lord will I trust

And not despair

 

And will call whatever you allow

My best good

My blessing and hope.

I will rely on Your goodness

For my future
