Learning to lean into God Archives - A Doctor's Cure for the Soul

Our Deep Valleys

So midst our own, deep dark valleys
We oft’ recall, our wrong behavior
Yet focus not, upon our failures
But trust in Christ, our risen Savior.

Be not discouraged, nor despair
As He prepares you, in Christ
Working all things for good
By grace in Him, fully sufficed.

You are my hiding place
And also my shield
I hope in Your Word
There Your love, revealed.

So, despite such depravity
The height of men’s evil
You will comfort, and care
LORD God, Your own people.

Remember our brethren
In starvation and need
Persecuted, forgotten
Daily, do intercede.

Yes LORD, midst oppression
May Your people shine bright
That multitudes of Afghani’s
Turn from darkness, to light.

While not seeking, to suffer
We must lift Jesus, high
Wholly trust Him, and know
Sufficient grace, He’ll supply.

So, saint as you suffer
See Jesus, on His throne
Despite pain, persecution
In Him, you’re not alone.

And are we offering our help
Pleading often, in prayer
Are we giving finances
Help meet needs, and care?

As Daniel, and friends
Faced a fierce, fiery furnace
Said “Our God, can deliver
And if not, we still serve Him”.
