My God, Thank You For Strengthening Me

July 30 Scripture Meditations Based on Jeremiah 16-20 Key Verse – Jeremiah 16:19 O LORD, my strength, and my fortress, and my refuge in the day of affliction, the Gentiles shall come unto thee from the ends of the earth… MY GOD, THANK YOU FOR STRENGTHENING ME Thank You for strengthening me against discouragement So that I can surmount with faith trials’ entrapment As a steadfast saint by Your presence of mighty empowerment Never more to wallow in frustration-sentiment. Thank You for strengthening me against dissatisfaction So that I can overcome worldliness’ vexation As a fortunate heir by Your salvation of assured redemption Never more to complain with discontentment-reaction. Thank You for strengthening me against dishonesty So that I can resist cheating’s intensity As a converted believer by Your forgiveness of gracious authority Never more to struggle midst righteousness-certainty. Thank You for strengthening me against disturbance So that I can conquer fear’s dominance As a valiant soldier by Your strength of strong endurance Never more to cower because of fright-grievance. Thank You for strengthening me against disrespect So that I can subdue humanism’s intellect As a transformed learner by Your guidance of wise aspect Never more to ponder midst vanity-retrospect. Thank You for strengthening me against distress So that I can rejoice over gloom’s duress As a jubilant Christian by Your sovereignty of supreme fortress Never more to linger in failure-stress. Thank You for strengthening me against dismay So that I can move on from downfall’s delay As a repentant sinner by Your pardon of merciful way Never more to compromise in worldliness-array.
