Laura Leiser Poet Ghazal

God Is Near

When you're troubled in the night, God is near
and you cannot see the light, God is near.

Life's paths can be uncertain, you may fear
shed a tear, but don't lose sight, God is near.

If you search with all your heart, you will find
that He hears you, fears take flight, God is near.

When you look to God to guide, every day
pray you'll know His love and light, God is near.

Laura's burdens are His, so remember
I'm His child, in Him delight, God is near.

Tom Valles June 30, 2022 at 2:53 PM This one really touched me and reminded me of His everlasting faithfulness. It's Hebrews 13: 5- "Keep your lives free from the love of money and be content with what you have, because God has said, “Never will I leave you; never will I forsake you.” Yes, God is near! Blessings to you!
