Encouragement for This Day

[4fishylady]

I find lots of encouragement from the poems of Annie Johnson Flint. Here's one of them that inspires me and keeps me steady in times of weakness. Sent with prayers that it will help you get through this day and keep on putting one foot in front of the other.

THY STRENGTH AND MY DAY

Give me Thy strength for my day, Lord,

That wheresoe’er I go,

There shall no danger daunt me

And I shall fear no foe;

So shall no task o’ercome me,

So shall no trial fret,

So shall I walk unwearied

The path where my feet are set;

So shall I find no burden

Greater than I can bear,

So shall I have a courage

Equal to all my care;

So shall no grief o’erwhelm me,

So shall no wave o’erflow;

Give me Thy strength for my day, Lord,

Cover my weakness so.

-Annie Johnson Flint
