Blessed Assurance

There are days I want to run and hide. To climb in my bed and sleep away frustration, hurt, and inadequacies. Then I hear this playing in my office and I can't help but smile and know of my assurance.

Blessed assurance, Jesus is mine!
O what a foretaste of glory divine!
Heir of salvation, purchase of God,
born of his Spirit, washed in his blood.
Refrain:
This is my story, this is my song,
praising my Savior all the day long;
this is my story, this is my song,
praising my Savior all the day long.

2. Perfect submission, perfect delight,
visions of rapture now burst on my sight;
angels descending bring from above
echoes of mercy, whispers of love.
(Refrain)

3. Perfect submission, all is at rest;
I in my Savior am happy and blest,
watching and waiting, looking above,
filled with his goodness, lost in his love.
(Refrain)

Father,

May I remain lost in your love. May I praise you with every breath. I long to bring you glory. Mold me into the wife, sister, child, and friend you would have me to be. May I always be a direct reflection of your glory! I love you.
