In Adversity

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

I’ve given it a lot of thought

And this was not the day

For me to get up, say good-bye

And simply fly away.

 

I wanted to get up and go

More than a time or two,

But I knew that flying the coop

Was not what I should do.

 

It’s hard to watch the ones I love

Struggle with life this way,

Sometimes the best that we can do

Is be there, come what may.

 

I opted to stay where I was

And do what I could do,

Then lift the rest of it in prayer,

Placing my faith in You.

 

Proverbs 24:10

If you faint in the day of adversity, your strength is small.
