A Prayer
 for Patience and Comfort
  Realizing my helplessness,
 I’m asking God if He will bless
 The thoughts you think and all you do
 So these dark hours you’re passing through
 Will lose their grave anxiety
 And only deep tranquility
 Will fill your mind and help impart
 New strength and courage to your heart.
  So place yourself in His loving care
 and He will gladly help you bear
 Whatever lies ahead of you,
 For there is nothing God cannot do.
 So I commend you into God’s care,
 And each day I will say a prayer
 That you will feel His presence near
 To help dissolve your every fear.
