FAITH, TRUST & PATIENCE<\/p>\n

Why do so many all rush about?
\nBecause they haven’t any trust,
\nBut to even be able to do that,
\nDeep faith in God is a must.<\/p>\n

We can’t slow down, be patient,
\nWithout confidence in the Lord,
\nIt is knowing He is in control,
\nTaking our time we can afford.<\/p>\n

But if we grow too impatient,
\nAnd rely on our own strength,
\nWe’ll fall down on our faces,
\nAnd make a big mess at length.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
