Poetry for My FMS Friends

 

                                                      “A Prayer For Those Suffering”

May Thy grace be found sufficient

For the suff’ring of the hour;

May they know Thy strength in weakness

And the fullness of Thy pow’r.

May they know Thy lovingkindness

May they feel Thy tender touch,

      In the hours of their suff’ring

Be it little, be it much.

May they sense Thy Spirit’s closeness

In the days and nights of pain;

May they know, Lord, that You trust them

With the suff’rings You ordain.

               

               

May they rest upon this promise:

               “I will never thee forsake!”

              
               May they see throughout their suff’rings

               That You make not one mistake.

  

May they wait on Thee for answers

               Which will come in Heav’n above,

          All the while trusting daily

          In the comforts of Thy love.
