This blog came to me during silent prayer last Wednesday morning:
I will never forget this awful time, as I grieve over my loss.
(Lamentations 3:20; NLT).
1. I pray for all
Who live with loss,
Who, daily, must take up
Their cross,
Facing their heartbreak,
And their tears,
Their desolation,
And their fears.
2. I pray for all
Who live with grief,
Who bear their cross
Without relief,
Facing each trouble
On their own,
Clinging, Lord God,
To you, alone.
I cling to you; your strong right hand holds me securely.
(Psalm 63:8; NLT).
