How Much More Strong

I wrote this many years ago for friends facing significant health issues regarding their children.  I know of others now facing similar circumstances.  This is for you.

How Much More Strong is God

How sad this crisis
Yet
How much more strong is God.
How emotional we mortals
Yet
How perfect is God's understanding of us.
How feeble we
Yet
How powerful He.

To whom can we turn
When with passions we burn
On whom can we lean
When weakness we keen
In whom can we comfort find
When we feel we are losing our mind?

There is only One but in that One alone
Will be all we need in our hurting zone.

There is no weakness in being weak;
His is the grace we must seek;
His the wisdom we so need;
Ask, He will not call it greed.
Ask, compassion He will proffer
From His everlasting coffer.
Ask, weeping, without strength;
His will take you the full length
Of each day;
Trust and pray.

God is our refuge and strength, a very present help in trouble.
Therefore we will not fear though the earth gives way, though the mountains be removed into the heart of the sea, though its waters roar and foam, though the mountains tremble at its swelling
(Psalm 46:1-3; ESV)
