So Much
Pain, So Much Sorrow
by
Barbara Philbrook
So much
pain, so much sorrow,
Lord give me the strength to get through till tomorrow.
I cried
out 'Father God please strengthen me',
"my grace is sufficient" are the words in my
Bible that I see.
There are
promises that we will receive grace sufficient to see us
through,
but I can't find a promise that says "No
suffering" can you?
There are
words to say don't give up because God's strength will
help you to stand,
and words saying we were loved before creation began.
There are
stories to say that each tear and pain have been suffered
and understood,
and words to show God loves the bad and the good.
There are
consoling words for arms empty with no child to enfold,
there are stories about frightened people who became very
bold.
Why even
the hungry lions mouth was kept sealed,
and three men surviving the roaring fire are revealed.
Miracles
happened left and right,
cripples walked and the blind received their sight.
But no
where are we told no suffering there would be,
instead it says "when you suffer trials and
temptations count it a Joy" in James 1:2&3.
Yes so
much pain and so much sorrow,
but Praise God, His Grace will get us through to
each tomorrow.
