From Proverbs 18:24: “Some friends play at friendship but a true friend sticks closer than one’s nearest kin.”
Dark perils lurking
Sin’s evil prowling
Reaching into souls
Fiercest storms howling
Fragile faith fading
Hope searching for God
Reaching out to light
Gospel never flawed
Others abandon
Lord always remains
Reaching into faith
Hope flowing through veins
At crossroads of life
Father comes calling
Reaching into hearts
No longer falling
Comfort bringing peace
Divine Word spoken
Reaching into self
Spirit unbroken
From Hebrews 13:5: “Be content with what you have; for He has said, ‘I will never leave you or forsake you.'”
