IN MY DISTRESS I CALLED UPON THE LORD
Some days are happy and almost care-free;
We rejoice in the Lord and we are truly happy.
We speak of love for the LORD and this is real;
Deep and good affection for Him is what we feel.
Then suddenly, things we do not expect happen;
We almost feel we have lost our contact in Heaven.
A sense of foreboding comes upon our heart and mind;
We are almost groping to find direction like the blind.
Death seems so very real and near at hand;
Fears threaten, and we don’t really understand.
The thought of death is suddenly overwhelming;
Our life is at stake and our faith seems weakening.
Our prayers must ascend to the LORD in heaven above;
The thought that God hears us must be enough!
He knows these moments that can be distressful;
Let us be reminded that God is ever faithful!
