Sufficiency

 

O Lord, I do confess that I have often made the choice

to follow my own longings and denied the still, small voice

that beckons me to listen and obey the Savior’s call -

The One who promises to guide me and protect me when I fall.

 

I have no wisdom of my own, nor strength to do my tasks.

I need Your strength, Your wisdom - this is all that I would ask.

Forgive my failures, help me Lord, to right the wrongs I’ve done.

The answer lies in this brief line - sufficiency is God!

 

You meet me at my greatest need ... wherever it be found.

All other ground is sinking sand and ... if the truth be known -

Without Your guidance and Your care - my life is disarray.

But I will  have abounding life with Your sufficient grace.
