Dear God give me the endurance,

While on you I learn to wait.

May my faith be strengthened daily,

as without doubt, you I supplicate.

May my joy of heart and peace of mind,

be supplied in sufficient amount.

May I not dwell on negative thoughts,

but learn how daily my blessings to count

For its strength beyond normal that you alone supply,

if I have faith the size of a mustard seed.

Through whatever test come upon me,

not trusting self but rather you to plead.

Noah you rescued from a watery grave,

Rehab and her family at Jericho.

Daniel you delivered from the lion's mouth,

Shadrach, Meshach and Abednego.

You supply comfort in my disquietude,

encouragement when my head is bowed low.

You know my pain though I may not utter a word,

you provide instruction on which way to go.

Help me stay aware of Satan's crafty designs,

his machinations are always at work.

You've proven loyal to your servants from the beginning of time,

if our relationship with you we don't shirk.

May I remember the temporary nature of trials,

and keep my mind focused on your blessings in store.

Life everlasting on a peaceful new earth,

pain and sorrow gone forevermore.
