Pain, Grief,
Fear and Sorrow
by
Barbara Philbrook
Pain, grief,
fear and sorrow.
Father provide the grace to get me through till tomorrow.
Pain from when I
wake up each new morn,
till I retire at night too weak to go on.
Grief over a
loss too great to bear,
I must remind myself constantly that You care.
Fear of whether
I will be able to cope,
what empowers me to survive is Your blessed hope.
Sorrow over
things I have said or done,
I am so grateful for the forgiveness of Your Son.
I can't imagine
a life without Your grace,
life for me would be too difficult to face.
Each day upon
arising I surrender to You,
asking for sufficient grace to get me through.
Each night I in
gratitude retire,
not having any thought or fear of whether I will expire.
I trust You
Father to do whatever is best,
and that I keep the faith is my only request.
Pain, grief,
fear and sorrow all real,
but overcome by Your love which I continually feel.
