Words of Comfort
Words from one of my favorite hymns that gives me strength when sometimes I feel like I don't have any:
How Firm a Foundation (Psalter Hymnal #500)
How firm a foundation, you saints of the Lord,
Is laid for your faith in his excellent Word!
What more can he say than to you he has said,
To you who for refuge to Jesus have fled?
For I am your God and will still give you aid;
I’ll strengthen you, help you, and cause you to stand,
Upheld by my righteous, omnipotent hand.
The rivers of sorrow shall not overflow,
For I will be with you in trouble to bless,
And sanctify to you your deepest distress.
My grace all sufficient shall be your supply;
The flame shall not hurt you; I only design
Your dross to consume and your gold to refine.
I will not, I will not desert to its foes;
That soul, though all hell should endeavor to shake,
I’ll never, no never, no never forsake!”
