You'll Carry Me

"When the furnace is burning, I know rescue is coming.
Your promise never fails.
In the darkness Your light shines, breaking over the horizon.
And I lift my eyes to see that heaven's fighting for me.
Carry me on Your back through this storm, Lord."

"You get glory in the midst of this, so You're walking with me.
And You say that I am blessed because of this, so I'll choose to believe
That as I carry this cross You'll carry me.
Help me believe it."

"All praise to God, the Father of our Lord Jesus Christ. God is our merciful Father and the source of all comfort. He comforts us in our troubles so that we can comfort others. When they are troubled, we will be able to give them the same comfort God has given us. For the more we suffer for Christ, the more God will shower us with His comfort through Christ...We were crushed and overwhelmed beyond our ability to endure, and we thought we would never live through it. In fact, we expected to die. But as a result, we stopped relying on ourselves and learned to rely on God, who raises the dead. And He did rescue us from mortal danger, and He will rescue us again. We have placed our confidence in Him, and He will continue to rescue us."
-2 Corinthians 1:3-5,8b-10


I am blessed to endure suffering.
I can confidently wait for rescue.
I can fully expect comfort.
I am not alone.
He will carry me.
He will receive glory. 
 I am not God. My life is not my own. My Father loves me.
Father, You are God. My life is Yours. You love me.
I trust You.
