You Come Through

As you have done in the past,
you are doing now, Lord God:
you are coming through
and showing up for me.

Men have shown disrespect,
and tried to hurt me,
but you more than make up
for all their worst efforts.

You hear when I call to you.
You give me sweet rest in my heart
and restful sleep on my bed.

You have put gladness in my heart,
and gratitude in my soul.
I have no trouble sleeping,
and optimism for each new day,
for you and you alone keep me safe.
Amen.
