✟
1. Walk by faith
And not by sight:
God is in
Your darkest night.
2. Never cease to pray
And love:
Blindly, trust
Christ’s saving blood.
3. You will see his face
At last:
So never give up hope –
Hold fast!

Sorry for the delay in answering Ruth, I am ecstatic that I have been pain free today, first time for over a month. God is good!
Oh, Alan, your last message really lifted my heart the moment I read it! I’m thanking God, even as I write this. My heart is too full to say any more. A day free of pain is so wonderful for you. I just feel like crying. May he bless you both very richly today. With love from Ruth xxxxx
He will hold me fast!
He will indeed, even when you can’t hold fast to him. That deserves a separate prayer! xxxxxxxx
Many thanks for what you said, David: it has sparked off a special prayer for you. If it’S ready in time, I’ll post it tomorrow. Is is okay to put “with thanks to David” next to the title, please? XXXXX
