PEOPLE'S PROBLEMS

by HELEN STEINER RICE

EVERYONE HAS PROBLEMS
IN THIS RESTLESS WORLD OF CARE,
EVERYONE GROWS WEARY
WITH THE "CROSS THEY HAVE TO BEAR,"
EVERYONE IS TROUBLED AND
"THEIR SKIES ARE OVERCAST"
AS THEY TRY TO FACE THE FUTURE
WHILE STILL DWELLING IN THE PAST...
BUT THE PEOPLE WITH THEIR PROBLEMS ONLY
"LISTEN WITH ONE EAR"
FOR PEOPLE ONLY LISTEN
TO THE THINGS THEY WANT TO HEAR
AND THEY ONLY HEAR THE KIND OF THINGS
THEY ARE ABLE TO BELIEVE
AND THE ANSWERS THAT ARE GOD'S
TO GIVE THEY'RE NOT READY TO RECEIVE,
SO WHILE THE PEOPLE'S PROBLEMS KEEP
GROWING EVERY DAY AND MAN VAINLY
TRIES TO SOLVE THEM IN HIS OWN SELF-WILLFUL WAY...
GOD SEEKS TO HELP AND WATCHES,
WAITING ALWAYS PATIENTLY
TO HELP THEM SOLVE THEIR PROBLEMS
WHATEVER THEY MAY BE-
SO MAY THE PEOPLE OF ALL NATIONS
AT LAST BECOME AWARE THAT GOD WILL
SOLVE THE PEOPLE'S PROBLEMS
THROUGH FAITH AND HOPE AND PRAYER!

THE ONE THING I WANT FROM GOD,
THE THING I SEEK MOST OF ALL, IS THE
PRIVILEGE OF MEDITATING IN HIS TEMPLE,
LIVING IN HIS PRESENCE EVERY DAY OF
MY LIFE, DELIGHTING IN HIS INCOMPARABLE
PERFECTIONS AND GLORY.
