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.
