Never Be Discouraged

NEVER BE DISCOURAGED

by HELEN STEINER RICE



THERE IS REALLY NOTHING WE NEED KNOW
OR EVEN TRY TO UNDERSTAND
IF WE REFUSE TO BE DISCOURAGED
AND TRUST GOD'S GUIDING HAND...
SO TAKE HEART AND MEET EACH MINUTE
WITH FAITH IN GOD'S GREAT LOVE,
AWARE THAT EVERY DAY OF LIFE
IS CONTROLLED BY GOD ABOVE...
AND NEVER DREAD TOMORROW
OR WHAT THE FUTURE BRINGS,
JUST PRAY FOR STRENGTH AND COURAGE
AND TRUST GOD IN ALL THINGS...
AND NEVER GROW DISCOURAGED
BE PATIENT AND JUST WAIT
FOR"GOD NEVER COMES TOO EARLY
AND NEVER COMES TOO LATE!"





CAST THY BURDEN UPON THE LORD
AND HE SHALL SUSTAIN THEE...
