In Every Circumstance and Season
The same food I eat to give me strength
Can cause such a negative bodily reaction
And I keep waking up in the middle of the night
As the pain is an alarm crossing over into sleep
They say that autoimmune diseases can make you feel twice as old
But Jesus says that we must die, like a grain of wheat,
In order to produce much fruit (John 12:24)
So my lack of sacrifice and surrender is really the thing to conquer
How many saints pushed through
Or even made light of their difficult crosses?
And when people didn’t understand or made false accusations,
They forgave and kept their gaze on You
Lord God, I want to suffer well, but You know my grouchy disposition
I can obsessively worry and dwell on the bad
So when Satan attacks, may You keep me calm and collected
May my heart stay true, like in marriage, in every circumstance and season
