Great is Thy Faithfulness! Great is Thy Faithfulness! Morning by morning new mercies I see.
Morning by morning. Sometimes this means greeting the sun at daybreak, sometimes it means working through the night to a new day, but there is great joy in finding each morning that no matter how you've come to it His mercies are new.
Strength for today and bright hope for tomorrow
This is my prayer for this new day, my prayer for every new day. I honestly cannot make it through without His gift of strength each day and hope to carry me to the next. I feel like recently my body has been at war with me, screaming constantly in the background,
Sleep! Sleep! Sleep! Give up. Go to bed! Sleep!
I push its demands aside once more, and then again, to do one more thing, to study one more thing, to finish something well. But then if I stop moving, if I sit and rest, the force of the demand washes over me again. It is not as if I haven't been sleeping-I have, as much as can be expected in my current circumstances-it is just that I am in a place where weariness is a constant companion. I praise God for songs like this that speak truth and give me something to hold to until this time passes.
Great is Thy faithfulness, O God my Father. There is no shadow of turning with Thee. All I have needed Thy hand has provided, Great is Thy faithfulness, Lord unto me.
go sleep. you have earned it. it does you no good to push you into zones of regret. listen to your body and come away and rest. then start a new day.
