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.
