Suffering

November 15, 2020

I lift my prayers for those in pain.
I pray through suffering they gain

A special trust in You alone
As they come daily to Your throne,

From You gain strength each day to live,
Find joy that only You can give.

I pray that You provide a way
To ease their load of pain each day.

A lifelong illness takes a toll
Throughout the body, mind, and soul.

Lord grant me empathy I need
To share Your love in word and deed.

Sometimes I hang my head and sigh.
I trust You Lord, but still ask why.

I pray for wisdom, help me know
How to assist, let my love show.
