The words of this hymn are very special to us at the moment as we are coming to terms with the news that Katie had been taken ill in Romania. Thankfully she is now back home but was admitted to hospital today for further investigations. Currently it would be nothing short of a miracle if we were to be able to leave on Wednesday.
Father, although I cannot see
the future you have planned,
and though the path is sometimes dark
and hard to understand,
yet give me faith, through joy and pain,
to trace your loving hand.
When I recall that in the past
your promises have stood
through each perplexing circumstance
and every changing mood,
I rest content that all things work
together for my good.
Whatever, then, the future brings
of good or seeming ill,
I ask for strength to follow you
and grace to trust you still;
and I would look for no reward,
except to do your will.
