A Poem
By:
Nancy Miller Brown
December 1983
Have you ever felt so worried
and blue
That you thought God had
given up on you?
Have you ever felt this was
the end of your way?
That you just couldn't
face another day?
Have you ever wept and
beaten the wall?
And said, " oh, what is
the use of it all?
Have you ever tried to pray
but couldn't utter a prayer?
And wondered if God
would hear or care?
Then somewhere in the
depths of your soul was
a word,
It was a voice that you
felt, rather than heard
God said, " Have courage
for all is not lost,
for living is learning,
sometimes at great cost.
Your trials and troubles
are stepping stones
to greater victories than you
have known.
As with Joseph, David and
Daniel of old,
Whatever happens, I am
still in control.
I do not destroy; I
only refine.
And I never cease loving
those who are mine.
You can be assured that
I understand,
And wherever you are,
I will hold your hand.
There will be other
trials along life's way
But you will be stronger
because of today."
