~ This Too Shall Pass ~
If I can endure for this minute
Whatever is happening to me,
No matter how heavy my heart is
Or how dark the moment may be-
If I can remain calm and quiet
With all the world crashing about me,
Secure in the knowledge God loves me
When everyone else seems to doubt me-
If I can but keep on believing
What I know in my heart to be true,
That darkness will fade with the morning
And that this will pass away, too-
Then nothing in life can defeat me
For as long as this knowledge remains
I can suffer whatever is happening
For I know God will break all of the chains
That are binding me tight in the darkness
And trying to fill me with fear-
For there is no night without dawning
And I know that my morning is near.
by Helen Steiner Rice
"But we have this treasure in jars of clay to show that this all-surpassing power is from God and not from us.
We are hard pressed on every side, but not crushed; perplexed, but not in despair; persecuted, but not abandoned;
struck down, but not destroyed."
~ 2 Corinthians 4:7-9~
"The LORD is good, a stronghold in the day of trouble, and He knows those who take refuge in Him."
~Nahum 1:7~
"Why are you in despair, O my soul? And why have you become disturbed within me? Hope in God, for I shall
yet praise Him, the help of my countenance and my God."
~Psalm 42:11~
"After you have suffered for a little while, the God of all grace, who called you to His eternal glory in Christ, will Himself perfect, confirm, strengthen, and establish you."
~1 Peter 5:10~
Even in my darkest hour
The Lord will bless me with His power;
His loving grace will sure abound,
In His sweet care I shall be found. —Brandt
*As you go through life, concentrate on the roses instead of the thorns.*
When life's afflictions batter you
Like waves upon the sand,
Remember to look up to God
And take His outstretched hand. —Sper
*To improve your outlook, try the uplook.*
"Whenever you need Him, whenever you call, The Lord is close by—He's the One who hears all;
When you are in trouble, when you need His aid, Just cry out to Jesus, and your fears will fade."
