My Lord, My Provider.

 My Lord, My Provider

My Lord, my Provider—You are the source of all I need.

Not just the bread that fills my hand, but the faith from which it springs,

Not just the shelter from the storm, but the peace that covering brings.

You see the need before it forms upon my lips in prayer,

And answer with a tender love that meets me everywhere.

And my God will meet all your needs according to the riches of his glory in Christ Jesus. (Philippians 4:19)

You provided manna in the wilderness when I had lost my way.

You provided water from the rock when I had no strength to pray.

You provided garments that did not wear out through my wandering years,

And in the desert of my sorrow, You provided streams of tears

That watered seeds of future joy, though I could not yet see

The harvest You were growing from the pain that planted me.

The Lord is my shepherd; I shall not want. (Psalm 23:1)

My Lord, my Provider—You gave Your very Son.

The greatest gift heaven could give, the priceless, Holy One.

If You did not withhold His life, but offered it for me,

How will You not, along with Him, give all things graciously?

He who did not spare his own Son, but gave him up for us all—how will he not also, along with him, graciously give us all things? (Romans 8:32)

So I will trust You for the daily—the provisions yet unknown.

I will trust You for the moment, and the strength to face alone

The challenges before me, the mountains yet unmoved,

Knowing that the God who provides has already approved

The path, the plan, the purpose, the portion for each day.

My Lord, my Provider—I trust You come what may.

You are Jehovah Jireh.

The Lord will provide.

My past, my present, my future rest in Your hands—and there abide.

Amen.
