Wondering, pondering, what will the day hold?
How will each hour of this life unfold?
Will it be full of gloom or grins?
Will it reveal more losses than wins?
Will we wake up to a sunny view?
Will wind and rain and storms blow through?
Will we stand with feet on the ground,
Firmly planted, or begin to drown?
No one knows what the day will hold;
Only Christ does, as Head of His fold.
He says, “Don’t you fret, precious child of mine.
Take one day at a time with Jesus Divine.
Search for treasures in my holy word,
To bless your soul whenever they’re heard.
Its mysteries and joys never fall short,
And its promises and truths soothe and exhort.
Come often in prayer and I will give you rest
And sweet peace to calm your weary breast.
Tell Me about every burden you bear;
I care more about you than the birds of the air
As well as my flowers that have plenty of water,
For I lavish more love on my sons and daughters.
I hold you tight in the palm of my hand,
And pour out my grace for you to stand.
Whether weak or strong, I will help you fight
And never, ever let you out of My sight.
As I unfold my perfect Will and plan,
Spend time close to Me whenever you can.
Love one another, and be gracious and humble;
Like Christ, my Son, who never once stumbled.
Fight against Satan, the evil one
And serve with your whole heart, impressing none.
These must be done to the glory of My name,
Living for Jesus, not seeking your fame.
Have faith in Me and worries will fade;
Look to the Savior and you won’t be afraid.
Follow My plan and you will grow,
No longer to fret when faced with a blow.
Begin your day with Me by your side,
Trusting your Shepherd to safely guide.
Then you will always simply know
Exactly how each day will flow,
Because you are wrapped in Christ’s loving arms,
Bathed in grace and prepared for alarms.
So when you are faced with temptation and sin,
I will be working in your heart within.
And when the waves of life crash down,
I will be the One to carry you around.
My joy will be your strength each day,
And you will stand firm, steady, not to stray.
Even the little stresses will flee,
If your eyes are focused and fixed on Me!
The world will never sympathize;
Just keep your mind on the awaiting prize!
Have faith, my child, and on Me, depend;
I’ll be here till eternity as your Father and Friend!
