We Can't, But God Can, a poem by Helen Steiner Rice

We Can't, But God Can

By, Helen Steiner Rice

Why things happen as they do

we do not always know,

And we cannot always fathom

why our spirits sink so low.

We flounder in our dark distress,

we are wavering and unstable,

But when we're most inadequate,

the Lord God's always able-

For though we are incapable,

God's powerful and great,

And there's no darkness of the mind

God cannot penetrate...

And while He may not instantly

unravel all the strands

Of the tanglesd thoughts that trouble us,

He completely understands-

And in HIs time, if we have faith,

he will gradually restore

The brightness to our spirits

that we've been longing for.

So remember there's no cloud too dark

for God's light to penertrate

If we keep on believing

and have faith enough to wait.

Life is filled with conflicts and confusions and can take some real faith in the everyday stuff... but I know with Him ever leading the way, I will have peace as I trust in Him...

 

Until next time,

Jean
