COMFORTED BY YOUR FAITH

There are many ways we can find consolation;

We can seek the Lord who is full of compassion.

Prayer, night and day, will bring some release;

Distress need not become a mental disease.

 

We can draw encouragement when we keep in touch;

There are ways and means to say that we care much.

A word or two, well-spoken and with good intention;

That can lift the heart and release tight tension.

 

Being human, we can draw comfort from stories;

These can be in the form of true testimonies.

The knowledge that sufferers remain strong;

This brings to the heart a courageous song.

 

We all need a word of consolation now and then;

Let us care for people as consistently as we can.

This is how we can maintain a spirit that is joyful;

May the Lord help us find a faith that is meaningful!
