"Thy Will Be Done"
God did not promise "sun without rain." "light without darkness" or "joy without pain" He only promised us "STRENGTH for the DAY" when "the darkness" comes and we lose our way, For only through sorrow do we grow more aware
that God is our refuge in times of despair... For when we are happy and lifes bright and fair,
we often forget to kneel down in prayer. But God seems much closer and needed much more when trouble and sorrow stand outside our door
For then we seek shelter in His wondrous love and we ask Him to send us help from above...
And that is the reason we know it is true that bright, shining hours and dark, sad ones, too,
Are part of the plan God made for each one, and all we can pray is "THY WILL BE DONE"!
