Will I ever learn, Lord?
Will I ever learn not to panic
when times are tough
and I'm overwhelmed,
confused and much afraid
that nothing's going right?
Will I ever learn to lean on you?
Will I ever learn to hope that
things will get better,
peace will be mine,
that tomorrow will come
and all’s not lost?
Will I ever learn to trust in you?
Will I ever learn that
you're on my side,
you have my back,
that with your help
all shall be well?
Will I ever learn to count on you?
How many times will come this week
when I might learn to
lean on you,
trust in you,
count on you,
believe in you,
have faith in you
and hope in you
and in your mercy, grace and help
in your wisdom, strength and power,
in your promise to abide with me
in good times and in bad...
Will I ever, ever learn?
Lord, send your Holy Spirit
to shake and wake my mind and heart
and lead me by your light
until I learn to trust and lean on you,
to count on you, and you alone,
to find the peace I seek...
Amen.
