In Your Time of Need

There is a time in life, when we have to let, go

And trust all we are

And can be to the Giver of Life.

There is a time of sorrow

That only God can understand,

A time of the deepest need

That cannot be ministered to

By a human friend.

There is an anxiety that cannot be resolved,

A pain that cannot be relieved,

A feeling that cannot be healed

By anything, another may say or do.

It is only as we give up our desperate efforts

And give God total control

That we experience true healing.

This healing is not what we expect,

But entrusting our life to the Good Shepherd

Will ultimately be the best choice

That can be made.

For in giving your hurts to Him,

He will take your burdens

And hold you

His comforting arms.

He is the only one
