A WORD FOR YOU!<\/p>\n

I wanted to write something personal,
\nYes, my friend, it is meant just for you,
\nJust a small word of encouragement,
\nGod knows what you’re going through.<\/p>\n

While sometimes things seem so dark,
\nYou really don’t have anything to fear,
\nFor God remains in absolute control,
\nJust wait & He will dry your every tear.<\/p>\n

Please hold on fast despite the waves,
\nAnd the winds which buffet your faith,
\nDon’t mind the thunder and lightening,
\nThe Lord will lead you to a harbor safe.<\/p>\n

Then all the trials you’re going through,
\nWill suddenly seem so extremely small,
\nAnd as you laugh you will come to see,
\nYou really had no reason to worry at all.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
