My God, Thank You For Causing Me To Rest

March 5 Scripture Meditations Based on 2Samuel 5-8 Key Verse – 2Samuel 7:11 And as since the time that I commanded judges to be over my people Israel, and have caused thee to rest from all thine enemies… MY GOD, THANK YOU FOR CAUSING ME TO REST Thank You for causing me to rest in Your peacefulness When I’m overwhelmed with pressures’ heaviness And filled by vexations’ irritableness--- I need Your presence of divine blissfulness. Thank You for causing me to rest in Your instruction When I’m gripped with persecution And attacked by temptation--- I need Your deliverance of saving restoration. Thank You for causing me to rest in Your authority When I’m confused with doubts as well as falsity And troubled by uncertainty--- I need Your assurance of steadfast security. Thank You for causing me to rest in Your might When I’m debilitated with sickness’ blight And weakened by sin’s infectious bite--- I need Your touch of healing right. Thank You for causing me to rest in Your comfort When I’m saddened with vain results in my effort And depressed by jeer instead of cheer consort--- I need Your compassion of caring resort. Thank You for causing me to rest in Your merriment When I’m humiliated with hypocrisy’s discontentment And abased by self-glorification’s entanglement--- I need Your pardon of joyful fulfillment.
