We will get through this!

Walter Albritton

Andrae heart like this one: I've had many tears and sorrows, I've had questions for tomorrow, there's been times I didn't know right from wrong. But in every situation, God gave me blessed consolation, that my trials come to only make me strong. Through it all, through it all, I've learned to trust in Jesus, I've learned to trust in God. Through it all, through it all, I've learned to depend upon His Word. I've been to lots of places, I've seen a lot of faces there's been times I felt so all alone. But in my lonely hours, yes, those precious lonely hours, Jesus lets me know that I was His own Reflect on the inspiring faith Crouch shares in this song: That is the kind of faith we all need during the trying times of our lives, faith that inspires us to grit our teeth and say, “” When Saint Paul grew weary of his “thorn in the flesh,” he heard the Lord say, “My grace is sufficient for you.” Though God allowed Paul to endure much suffering, Paul made his way through it all. His faith never wavered because he was confident that God’s grace was all he needed. In these days of social turmoil in America, and the uncertainty created by the novel coronavirus, we dare not think of ourselves as victims. We dare not think that we shall stay immersed in the pain and darkness of this valley. We must believe that, by the grace of God, we are going to walk through this valley! We can work together to overcome racism. We can follow the health guidelines to protect ourselves and others from the deadly virus. We can defeat hatred with love. We can practice kindness in every situation. We can be peacemakers with our lips and our lives. We can trust God and rely on His Word. Together, we can create a better world for the next generation. We can walk on, resolutely saying to one and all, “We will get through this!” + + +
