"I am right here"

Sometimes I lay awake,
long after the trials of the day.

And I ask my dear Lord,
is there any other way?

And then I remember Your Holy Word,
and I am no longer sad.

For all things are working together for my good,
whether they are good or bad.

I must keep in mind that God's plans
are not like mans.

And that He will never fail me,
for my life is in His hands.

And then I hear Your gentle
voice in the back of my mind.

Saying I am right here my precious child,
all of the time.

And the times that you feel that
I am not there.

Those are the times that you must remember,
just how much I care.

My child please remember
that My promises are true.

Didn't I promise that I would never leave,
nor forsake you?

For you see I am not like man,
that I would tell a lie.

So you never need to doubt,
or ask the question why.

You must remember that My Word
is faithful and true.

But above all else please remember,
just how much I love you.

And those times that you don't know
exactly what to do.

You just call out my name,
for I am right here for you.
