GOD IS NEAR <\/p>\n

When we think we are alone,
\nGod still sees all our tears,
\nHe knows of our deep sadness,
\nHe beholds our greatest fears.<\/p>\n

Tho we sometimes do forget it,
\nWe are in the palm of His Hand,
\nHe gives us strength and courage,
\nOur every battle to withstand.<\/p>\n

Although He may seem silent,
\nHe is never really far away,
\nWe can approach Him quickly,
\nAll we have to do is pray.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
