Be Strong and Take Courage

Be strong and take courage. Every trial makes us stronger in the Lord. Every trial makes us more pliable in our Maker's hands. Every trial brings us humbly to our knees.  

God breathes life and hope in us each day. He renews us in His love and lavishes His goodness on us.  

Be strong and take courage. God who begins the work in us will bring it to completion.  

His name will be high and lifted up. He will be exalted and magnified through our broken lives.  

Spirit of the living God.  Have mercy on us and draw us to Yourself as we lay our lives at Your altar. Consume us with fresh fire. Empower us to live for You.
