JAMES 1:5-7  5 If any of you lack wisdom, let him ask of God, that giveth to all men liberally, and upbraideth not; and it shall be given him. 6 But let him ask in faith, nothing wavering. For he that wavereth is like a wave of the sea driven with the wind and tossed. 7 For let not that man think that he shall receive any thing of the Lord.

LUKE 11:9  And I say unto you, Ask, and it shall be given you; seek, and ye shall find; knock, and it shall be opened unto you.

Blessings During Life’s Storms

BLESSINGS DURING LIFE’S STORMS

Through the troubles of life, I find it is true….

Never once have I been deserted by you….

Many a day I feel no longer can I go on….

Still shall I praise thee ever in songs….

The Lord is my refuge, my shelter during life’s raging storm ….

The Rock I abide in when I am torn and worn….

Hebrews 13:5 I have only to open and read….

I will never leave thee, nor forsake thee….

Thy word hath spoken it and Lord I believe….

Thank you, God, for mercies daily received……..

THE MASTERS PROMISE

This too will pass,

I hear my saviour’s voice say alas.

Through tears of pain look to the light,

For the dawn that comes after the darkest of nights.

My child I am with thee through the valley below,

Will you trust me wherever you should go?

For I shall never forsake the sheep in my fold,

If it were not true, I would have told you so.

You never thought you would feel this way,

But you shall overcome this too, to be with me one day.
