via Daily Prompt: Thorny

Father,  we thank you that you have kept us through all trials and suffering

We thank you that you hear all of our prayers and even our hearts’ mutterings

You are the Alpha and Omega of every situation, You know our end from the beginning

We are broken- so we ask that You heal us this day by the Word that You are  sending

Help us to see that You are establishing testimonies and shaping our new stories

Help us to measure ourselves by the dimensions of the cross though our path is thorny

Though the Enemy slay us yet will we trust in You for You are a strong tower

in our deepest despair, You are still there walking with us through our darkest hours

Be with us throughout this day as we keep our minds stayed on You and Your glory

Continue to keep us in your love as we praise You and live our lives forever for Thee
