“Worth it All” by Rita Springer
I don’t understand your ways
Oh, but I will give you my song
Give you all of my praise
You hold on to all my pain
And with it you are pulling me closer
And pulling me into your ways
Now around every corner
And up every mountain
I’m not looking for crowns
O
r the water from fountains
I’m desperately seeking
And frantically believing
That the sight of your face
is all that I’m needing.
I will say to you…
It’s going to be worth it
It’s going to be worth it
It’s going to be worth it
It’s going to be worth it all
I believe it
It’s going to be worth it
It’s going to be worth it
It’s going to be worth it all
Dear God, I felt like I just needed to spend some time in worship this morning. I have some things happening around me that are overwhelming me, and yet I have found you meeting me “around every corner.” There are some things happening that make my heart hurt–some personal, some professional–and yet I still find you.
I had a friend some to me a few days ago and express her own frustration at some things that are happening in her life, and, frankly, they are similar to something my wife and I are experiencing. As I’ve thought about her situation and my situation, I’ve thought about how much you have helped me. You’ve helped me to be at peace. You’ve helped my wife and me work together to face some tough issues. You’ve brought us miraculous, providential kindness. And I literally don’t know where I would be without coming to you as an individual and praying with her daily.
Father, you offer so much. You aren’t offering us earthly crowns. If those come, it is because…well, I don’t know they rhyme or reason for earthly crowns. But I know that I really am at peace without one. I just want to be your servant, play the role in my surroundings that you want me to play, and worship the God in heaven who makes my life worth living.
In Jesus’ name I pray,
Amen
