Focus on being filled by God Archives - A Doctor's Cure for the Soul

Teach us to number our days

We are given each day
For God’s glory, not mine
To obey and to please Him
For His purpose divine.

So do rejoice, evermore
And pray without ceasing
In everything, give thanks
This is God’s will, unceasing.

“Not by might, nor by power
But by My Spirit” says the LORD
So that His will, be done
We then see, blessings poured.

Fully trusting God’s promises
With obedience to His word
Being steadfastness in prayer
By circumstances, undeterred.

Set our mind, on things above
Tho’ still suffering, not healed
Be not focused, on our feelings
Walk by faith, in our ordeal.

So, while we may not be healed
Nor from suffering, delivered
But instead of dejection
We can rejoice, not be embittered.

So, choose forgiveness and love
For God’s truth, sets us free
From old attitudes, reactions
Call on Jesus, to Him flee.

Be teachable, be open
As clay in God’s hand
Humble, repentant
Obey, all He commands.

As our LORD, and our King
May we never bring shame
As His child, bring but honor
Daily glorify, His Name.

For Jesus only, our Creator
Living in us, He can supply
His grace, ever sufficient
Simply trust Him, and abide.
