You O Lord, who know the hearts of people
You know the depth of our thoughts and our being
You know the ins and outs of everything we have ever done
You know the pain we feel when we cannot help those we love
You know the frustration that sets upon us when we cannot see or understand
The depth of Your love is far beyond anything we can imagine
You know our desires and our hurts
You know when we live for You or against us–
You know when the end will come and how it will come.
You know–when we don’t–just how much we can bear and more importantly,
You know when we’ll reach the end of ourselves and totally depend upon You!
We do not have to know the end of the matter because You do and we can trust in Your knowledge.
The Lord knows what we can handle and what we cannot handle–He is right there with us–holding us up or in His arms when we cannot continue under our own steam. But because of His love for us, He will set us upright–upon solid ground–and anoint us anew to be courageous no matter what. We win because The Lord Knows! Hallelujah!
