A Prayer for Trust

This poem was written in October 2015, on the eve of my first cataract surgery.

In light of ongoing national events, it's truth bears repeating.

"Strength and dignity are her clothing, and she smiles at the future."

Proverbs 31:25

"She smiles at the future."

Her heart is unafraid,

for she is trusting in the LORD;

On Him her mind is stayed.

At what may be she does not stare;

On Jesus is her gaze.

And so tomorrow does not scare

She who knows Ancient of Days.

Dear Father, give this peace to me,

For worries now loom large.

Yet grace is my reality:

You're Lord; I'm in Your charge.

I trust You with the great unknown

Of all that lies ahead.

I lay my cares before Your throne,

For by Your hand I'm led.
