Challenges overwhelm

Accidents, poor health

Seeking God’s divine grace

His healing power

 

Come to gracious Father

Binding up these wounds

Through abundant mercy

Life restored again

 

Road of recovery

God strengthens, blesses

Built upon living Word

Peace offers comfort

 

Healing brokenhearted

Buoyant life returns

Praise Father’s compassion

Trust His mighty hand

 

Life filled with confidence

Praying back to God

Thankfulness to Father

His mercies abound

Holy, living water

Flowing from Father’s hand

Deliverance blesses

Saving from sinking sand

 

Comfort’s spring renewing

Proclaiming Father’s love

Selfless with compassion

Sending grace from above

 

Tragedy reaches out

Hearing each heartfelt cry

Spirit guiding prayer

Bringing forth hope from high

 

Actions follow His light

Sharing words of support

Father’s eternal spring

Returning ship to port

 

Oaks of righteousness call

Comforting life like rain

His mercy never ends

Trusting Father again

From Psalm 72:12-13:  “For He delivers the needy when they call, the poor and those who have no helper.  He has pity on the weak and the needy, and saves the lives of the needy.”

When I am criticized, injured, or afraid, there is a Father who is ready to comfort me.

From Psalm 86:17:  “Show me a sign of your favor, so that those who hate me may see it and be put to shame, because you, Lord, have helped me and comforted me.”

Vance Havner Quote

No journey is complete that does not lead through some dark valleys.  We can properly comfort others only with the comfort we ourselves have been given by God.

From Psalm 94:19:  “When the cares of my heart are many, your consolations cheer my soul.”
