The Comfort We Receive
God did not send the pain we feel,
Nor mental health we can't conceal.
Discomfort comes to all.
We can't avoid the suffering
Obeying God in everything;
Said the Apostle Paul.
Instead, God will not waste our pain
By teaching values, we can gain
From our adversity!
Each time we feel that something's wrong,
We need to pray He "comes along"
And teach serenity.
We can be ready for such days,
With Bible reading and much praise.
