PETITION IN FAITH
by:
Roxie Lusk Smith
When your problems rise up
To bog and depress,
And your spirit gives way to despair,
When your mind is a vent
To a burden's intent,
And your lips can't give voice to a prayer-
Turn away from the thoughts
That cause you distress,
They hinder the self in repair,
Trust God to provide
What the heartstrings confide;
With assurance,
You're still in His care.
