IlcLiet' Be Discouraged
There is really nothing we need to know or even try to understand.
If we refuse to be discouraged and tru s t God's guiding hands.
So take heart and meet each minute with faith in God's great love, aware th a t everyday of life is controlled by God above,
and never dread tomorrow of what the future brings. J u s t pray for strength and courage
and never grow discouraged be patient and ju s t wait, "For God never comes too early and never comes too late!"
