A Blessing to Be Overpowered

I bless you to discover

God’s benevolent might

Like Jeremiah who exclaimed:

“You are stronger than I,

And you have prevailed.” (Jer. 20:7)

Jeremiah was mocked

And scorned

And beaten

And he wanted to quit—

But he couldn’t quit

Because God was stronger

Than his despair.

When you feel like

Throwing in the towel,

May you find God’s stamina

Stronger than yours.

When you feel like

Running away,

May you find God’s speed

Faster than yours.

When you feel like

Forsaking your call,

May you find God’s commitment

Deeper than yours.

Child of God,

The Lord is more faithful to you

Than you ever could be to Him.

He’s going to prevail, child of God,

So let Him prevail, let Him prevail.
