Never Despair - Gods Always There!

NEVER DESPAIR- GODS ALWAYS THERE!

by HELEN STEINER RICE



IN SICKNESS OR HEALTH,
IN SUFFERING OR PAIN,
IN STORM-LADEN SKIES,
IN SUNSHINE AND RAIN
GOD ALWAYS IS THERE
TO LIGHTEN YOUR WAY
AND LEAD YOU THROUGH DARKNESS
TO A MUCH BRIGHTER DAY.



IN THIS WAVERING WORLD OF UNBELIEF, WE ARE FILLED
WITH DOUBT AND QUESTIONING FEAR, OH, GIVE US FAITH
IN THINGS UNSEEN, SO WE MAY FEEL THY PRESENCE NEAR.
H.S.R.





O LORD OF HOSTS,
HOW BLESSED IS THE MAN
WHO TRUSTS IN THEE!



PSALM 84:12
NAS



RIGHTEOUSNESS AND JUSTICE ARE THE
FOUNDATION OF YOUR THRONE;
LOVE AND FAITHFULNESS GO BEFORE YOU.
BLESSED ARE THOSE WHO HAVE LEARNED TO ACCLAIM YOU, WHO WALK IN THE LIGHT OF YOUR PRESENCE, O LORD. THEY REJOICE IN YOUR NAME ALL DAY LONG;
THEY EXULT IN YOUR RIGHTEOUSNESS.



PSALM 89:14-16
NIV



BUT I WILL NEVER STOP LOVING HIM,
NOR LET MY PROMISE TO HIM FAIL.
NO, I WILL NOT BREAK MY COVENANT;
I WILL NOT TAKE BACK A SINGLE WORD
I SAID.



PSALM 89:33-34
NLT



FAITHFULNESS WILL SPRING UP FROM THE GROUND, AND RIGHTEOUSNESS WILL LOOK DOWN FROM THE SKY.



PSALM 85:11
NRSV



WHEN THEY REACH DRY VALLEY,
SPRINGS START FLOWING,
AND THE AUTUMN RAIN FILLS IT
WITH POOLS OF WATER.
YOUR PEOPLE GROW STRONGER,
AND YOU, THE GOD OF gODS,
WILL BE SEEN IN ZION.



PSALM 84:6-7
CEV



FOR THOU ART THE GLORY OF THEIR STRENGTH: AND IN THY FAVOUR OUR HORN SHALL BE EXALTED.
FOR THE LORD IS OUR DEFENCE; AND
THE HOLY ONE OF ISRAEL IS OUR KING.



PSALM 89:17-18
KJV



THE LORD HIMSELF WATCHES OVER YOU!
THE LORD STANDS BESIDE YOU AS YOUR
PROTECTIVE SHADE.
THE SUN WILL NOT HURT YOU BY DAY,
NOR THE MOON AT NIGHT.
THE LORD KEEPS YOU FROM ALL EVIL
AND PRESERVES YOUR LIFE.



PSALM 121:5-7
NLT



HE RAINED DOWN ON THEM MANNA TO EAT, AND GAVE THEM THE GRAIN OF HEAVEN.



PSALM 78:24
