| TRUST When I recall my deep concerns, And all my sleepless nights of yesterday, I see God's plan, and guiding hand, Sustaining me along my fear-plagued way. So many trials of my life That never were quite fully understood, The Lord has used to strengthen me, And work them all together for my good. He shows His love and faithfulness Each day I live in many countless ways; And all He asks for is my trust, Delighting in my love and in my praise. I pray my faith will be so strong, That I will worry not one single hour. Instead, I'll trust Him for each day, Believing He will give His peace and power. � by Betty Jo Mings http://www.bettyjomings.truepath.com Betty Jo lives in Garden Grove, California, with Rowland, her husband of over 50 years.
