Then

 2 Corinthians 12:10 ~ "Therefore I take pleasure in infirmities, in reproaches, in necessities, in persecutions, in distresses for Christ's sake: for when I am weak, then am I strong."
                  ~ The Holy Bible
When I'm bogged down by fears, Then He reminds, "Be not afraid", When I'm troubled with tears, Then He tells me, "Don't be dismayed"; When future's bleak, He comes along, When I am weak, Then am I strong; When I'm filled with sorrows, Then He assures, "Be of good cheer", When I'm tensed 'bout morrows, Then He comforts, "I'm with you, dear"; When cares exhaust, He unwinds me, When I feel lost, Then He finds me; When I'm mired in worries, Then He whispers, "Be filled with peace", When stalled as time hurries, Then He confirms, "Wait, be still, cease"; When my feet slip, He steadies me, With His strong grip then readies me.

I've always loved this scripture. It's knowing that we help, that we ask for God lend His hand, and in so doing we garner His strength. A great reminder, Joanna.
