Lord, when I’m not well I lose confidence,
get confused, become anxious and frightened
about all kinds of things,
about the past, and about the future,
especially about operations.
I feel so useless, listless like a young bird.
Lord, strengthen me to trust in You.
For I know that nothing can come
between me and Your love,
neither fear, nor worry, nor anxiety,
nor sickness, nor illness,
nor even danger of death,
neither the past, nor the present,
nor anything in the future.
There is nothing in all of creation
no power of principality
that will ever be able to come between us.
In all these things I can keep going,
keep trusting, keep holding on,
through the power of Your love.
Amen.
— By Columban Patrick Sayles
