To the God of Abraham and of Isaac and of Jacob, we praise You
because during times of joy and triumph
You are God
And to same God who is our comforter and the author of peace, we praise you
because during times of trouble and distress
You are still God
And because you are the God who never changes,
the God who is the same yesterday, today, and tomorrow,
We find no reason for why our faith in you should change
even if the situation in our life demands it to
Teach us, Lord, that You ways are not our ways
and Your thoughts, not our thoughts
And more often than not, remind us
that Your answers are always wiser than our prayers
And when the night is long and the sky is dark
And no sight is left for our eyes to see,
Teach us, Father, teach us
To trust in Your heart
For in any and every way,
You have always known the better.
Amen.
