When troubles come and things go wrong
And days are cheerless and nights are long,
We find it so easy to give in to despair
By magnifying the burdens we bear.
We add to our worries by refusing to try
To look for the rainbow in an overcast sky,
And the blessings God sent in a darkened disguise
Our troubled hearts fail to recognize,
Not knowing God sent it, not to distress us
But to strengthen our faith and redeem us and bless us.

Humble yourself therefore under the mighty hand of God, that he may exalt in due time; Casting all your care upon him: for he careth for you. 1 Peter 5:6,7
