Contemplating and meditating on the 7 Cries of Jesus on the Cross recorded in the gospels. In this prayer, a reflection on what Christ has achieved as much as what He said, and we're challenged to trust God in the most difficult of circumstances.
Far too often we let circumstances and suffering cause us to turn away from the Father. But Jesus, at the end of it all, knew into who’s hands to commend His very self.
Lord help us to do likewise
Written and read by Sammy Davies
Inspired by Luke 23:46
It isn’t easy
Choosing light when darkness surrounds
Trusting God
When life has been so hard
And yet
Here walks Jesus
Beaten
Mocked
Scorned
Entrusting Himself
Into His Father's hands
Life is a shadowy place
Through which we all traverse
Why would we not entrust ourselves to the Father too?
Choosing You, our God
Is never an easy thing to do
Suffering and circumstance
Call us, all too often, away from your care
But Jesus knew, when all was said and done
That You, our Father in Heaven
Are worth giving our lives too
So, we commit ourselves today
Rescue us from the power of those around us
Preserve us in the presence of our persecutors
Make Your face shine on us
Let us experience Your salvation
Do not let our cries go unanswered
Save for the boasting of our enemies
What lies before us
In Jesus
Is ever so sweet
Give us eyes to see through this momentary darkness
To glimpse Your wonderful light
Amen
