For
my precious friend, I pray and bless you
I
bless you with faith that rises
Faith
that burns brighter
In
the darkness of trials
I
bless you with faith like a jewel
A
multifaceted diamond
Sparkling
and reflecting the Light of God
I
bless you with faith that takes God at His Word
“All
things are possible to him who believes.”
A
responsive heart that confesses, “I believe.
Help me with my unbelief.”
I
bless you with faith that remembers
Your
Savior suffered and was tempted
And
is able to help and strengthen you today
I
bless you with faith that trusts God
When
all others tell you to abandon ship
You
will remember that God still calms the stormy seas
I
bless you to remember your Savior’s compassion
He
stands ready to wipe away your tears
With
His nail scarred hands
I
bless you to praise God,
Unapologetic,
out loud and with boldness
Though
others may tell you to curse God
I
bless you to know with confident assurance
That
God is perfectly weaving your trials and pain
Into
a beautiful tapestry of your life
I
bless you to recognize
That
God will never waste your trials
Be
confident that He will use them to help others
I
bless you to remember book by book
Who
God has revealed Himself to be
In
holy and inerrant Scripture
I
bless you to recall the names of God
Reflect
and remember
How
He has proven Himself over and over in your life
I
bless you to rejoice always
Pray
without ceasing
In
everything and for everything give thanks
