A Poem - Life's Trials

A poem by Helen Steiner Rice

MEET LIFE'S TRIALS WITH SMILES

There are times when life overwhelms us

And our trials seem too many to bear,

It is then we should stop to remember

God is standing ready to share

the uncertain hours that confront us

And fill us with fear and despair

For God in His goodness has promised

That the cross He gives us to wear

Will never exceed our endurance

Or be more than our strength can bear . .

And secure in that blessed assurance

We can smile as we face tomorrow

For God holds the key to the future

And no sorrow or care need we borrow.

Have a blessed day my friends.
