Day by day, and with each passing moment,
Strength I find to meet my trials here;
Trusting in my Father’s wise bestowment,
I’ve no cause for worry or for fear.
He, whose heart is kind beyond all measure,
Gives unto each day what He deems best,
Lovingly its part of pain and pleasure,
Mingling toil with peace and rest.

Gives unto each day what He deems best,
Lovingly its part of pain and pleasure,
Mingling toil with peace and rest.

Every day the Lord Himself is near me,
With a special mercy for each hour;
All my cares He fain would bear and cheer me,
He whose name is Counsellor and Pow’r.
The protection of His child and treasure
Is a charge that on Himself He laid;
“As thy days, thy strength shall be in measure,”
This the pledge to me He made.

Help me then, in every tribulation,
So to trust Thy promises, O Lord,
That I lose not faith’s sweet consolation,
Offered me within Thy holy Word.
Help me, Lord, when toil and trouble meeting,
E’er to take, as from a father’s hand,
One by one, the days, the moments fleeting,
Till with Christ the Lord I stand.
So to trust Thy promises, O Lord,
That I lose not faith’s sweet consolation,
Offered me within Thy holy Word.

E’er to take, as from a father’s hand,
One by one, the days, the moments fleeting,
Till with Christ the Lord I stand.

"... And we know that all things work together for good to those who love God, to those who are the called according to his purpose." Romans 8:28.
All these things working together for our good and God's glory and His own pleasure, are most likely going to be accomplished gradually and will require patience on our part. God is not in a hurry and He takes His time to prove Himself to be dependable and worthy of our trust. Plus since He is sovereign, He does not accomplish or perform things right when we want HIM to, but not until He is ready to do so. Just remember that He is worthy of our trust and be content with where you are and what you have today. In the meantime, while you are waiting on HIM, you will not fall through the cracks because He will not let you. He not only sees you and knows what you're going through but He lives within you. Ephesians 4:6. Godliness with contentment is great gain. And remember, 'Father knows Best'. 👉 📖 👈

My husband and I have been waiting for answers for a surgery he needs from a Workers Comp injury for a year and a half now. Workers Comp keeps wanting to deny caring for him and it’s now heading towards court. Daily we keep praying and waiting for God to show us the direction we should go and today we finally got another surgeon to back my husband so he can find healing and get back to work. It’s been a long trial and we still have a ways to go, but God has day by day been proving HIS faithfulness towards us.
My husband has been diagnosed with a rare type of brain cancer called Glioblastoma which he will not survive. This song was one I grew up with. It makes me feel better but I cried the first time I read all the verses the other day. My husband and I are living a trial, but how good God has been to us and our family! PTL!! ✝️

I woke up this morning with these lyrics in my heart today. I actually had to google the lyrics to find the title and all the verses. Thank you!

Praise the Lord! Our faith is in our spirit, and it is excellent; the proving of our faith is by trials that come through sufferings. As we practice losing our soul-life in this age and go through sufferings and trials, the proving of our faith is being found unto praise, glory, and honor, and this will result in the receiving the end of our faith – the salvation of our souls. Hallelujah, what a sweet promise! 😀
