Discouragement and Doubt

DISCOURAGEMENT
& DOUBT

by HELEN STEINER RICE



IT'S EASY TO GROW DOWNHEARTED
WHEN NOTHING GOES YOUR WAY.
IT'S EASY TO BE DISCOURAGED
WHEN YOU HAVE A TROUBLESOME DAY.
BUT TROUBLE IS ONLY A CHALLENGE
TO SPUR YOU ON TO ACHIEVE
THE BEST THAT GOD HAS TO OFFER
IF YOU HAVE THE FAITH TO BELIEVE.









THOUGH I WALK IN THE MIDST OF TROUBLE,
THOU DOST PRESERVE MY LIFE; THOU DOST
STRETCH OUT THY HAND AGAINST THE WRATH
OF MY ENEMIES, AND THY RIGHT HAND DELIVERS ME.
