In Your Time of Need

There is a time in life, when we have to let, go
 And trust all we are
 And can be to the Giver of Life.
 There is a time of sorrow
 That only God can understand,
 A time of the deepest need
 That cannot be ministered to
 By a human friend.
 There is an anxiety that cannot be resolved,
 A pain that cannot be relieved,
 A feeling that cannot  be healed
 By anything, another may say or do.
 It is only as we give up our desperate efforts
 And give God total control
 That we experience true healing.
 This healing is not what we expect,
 But entrusting our life to the Good Shepherd
 Will ultimately be the best choice
 That can be made.
 For in giving your hurts to Him,
 He will take your burdens
 And hold you
 His comforting arms.
 He is the only one
