Maureen Lefanue Poet Rhyme

God Has Provided Help

Those who surrender to God’s guidance
Will never find themselves in a position
For which the good Lord above
Has not made provision
In perplexity, we have a sure Counselor
For bereavement, loneliness or sorrow
We have a sympathetic Friend
In today and tomorrow.

We need never feel alone
For He’s given us angels as companions
The Comforter abides with us
To defeat Satan’s cruel temptations
Whatever the difficulties under which we labor
That weighs down soul and body
God in His humanity
Has provided the perfect remedy.

With outstretched hand
In pitying tenderness to human suffering
Touched with the feeling of our infirmities
His strength He is offering
He asks we lay our troubles
At His feet in true surrender
For God has provided help
In His love that’s so tender.

Do not study your emotions
Or give way to your feelings
For the enemy will use them
To entertain doubt and wrong actions
Simply look away from self
Rest in Christ’s love and care
Surrender each burden
That He’ll willingly bear.
