Never Be Discouraged

There is really nothing we need to know

or even try to understand

If we refuse to be discouraged

and trust God’s guiding hand.

So take heart and meet each minute

with faith in God’s great love,

Aware that every day of life

is controlled by God above….

And never dread tomorrow

or what the future brings,

Just pray for strength and courage

and trust God in all things.

And never grow discouraged

be patient and just wait

For “God never comes too early

and He never comes too late!”
