Dear God

Debby Alten
Though the season is dark
You are the maker of the sunrise
Though my path is long and dry
You lead me to green pastures

Though sin wars against me
You whisper through dreams
Though peace is elusive
You bring it to me

Though the river rages
You build a bridge to safety
And though I feel like dying
You give eternal life

    hank you for this reminder to look beyond what we see...and remember that we (on a troubled path) are surrounded by God's peace. That's real. We are in a green pasture..if we will notice. We are on a bridge...if we notice. (But it doesn't feel that way!)
