Whenever I Am Troubled

Whenever I am troubled and lost in deep despair
I bundle all my troubles and go to God in prayer.
I tell Him I am heartsick, and lost and lonely too.
That my mind is deeply burdened and I don’t know what to do.
But I know He stilled the tempest and calmed the angry sea,
And I humbly ask if in his love He will do the same for me.

Perseverance

When all the world is looming dark
And things seem not so clear,
When shadows seem to hover’ round
Lord, may I persevere.
When it seems everything’s been tried
And there’s no way to go,
Just let me keep remembering
Sometimes the journey’s slow.
I may just need to stop and rest
Along the path I trod,
A time to try to understand
And have my talk with God.
As I gain new strength to carry on
Without a doubt or fear,
Somehow I know things will be right,
And so, I persevere.
