The Lord is My strength when I have become weak. He is my comfort when sadness has overtaken me
When the loss of someone comes, as surely they come to all who live, when the pain of separation swells and washes over me, He gently rests His hand upon my shoulder to remind me that He is there
God calms our nerves when they’ve frayed from the blows that come from living
For when we rest upon the promises of God, they will give us comfort and cause us to see with a far-reaching perspective, the nature of life and death
How great is our God, that He takes the time to visit ones so small and brings healing through the power of His love
By the works of all His manifest ways, through His Spirit, from His Son, and by His power, He mends us and guides our way through dark valleys
Oh Lord, I thank You for Your presence. I rejoice in the ways You uplift those who trust in You and heal the broken places with your gentle touch
So that even in such dark times, we can see hope through the light that you shine upon us
The Lord is faithful to those who put their faith in Him. He lifts them up as they put their trust in His ways
He loves those who love Him, and cares for those who walk according to His ways
In this world, our lives will have to endure many trials and pain. We can’t even imagine what might happen in the coming years. But we can be sure that there will be the pains of loss, illness, and suffering
In Christ we always have hope. He will lift us up and help us overcome all of life’s challenges
Rejoice during the days of calm and peace. Thank God, and praise Him, for they are truly gifts from Him. Sing forth with joy, for our trials will not last forever
Our God is faithful, trust in His promises. He will never leave us or forsake us, and will certainly provide us the strength to overcome the darkest day
God will stay with us during all the uncertain days of our lives. Even unto the farthest days of eternity. Amen. 7/22/2021
