To bear the weight of the woes of this world
Would drain us of all hope of happiness
To dwell on the darkness where Light unfurled
Beckons, is to miss God’s kind faithfulness
To suffer we must; but to hurt alone
Would surely be hardship’s most bitter part
The Lord does not leave us Comfortless, no
Though this world’s sorrows can shatter the heart
Worry is not the same thing as concern
Worry frets anxiously; futile and hard
Concern will caution, encourage, discern
Stand like a strong, loyal soldier on guard
Lord, help us daily Thy grace to employ
To bear life’s burdens with courage and joy

1 Pet.5:6-7
Humble yourselves, therefore, under God’s mighty hand,
so that in due time He may exalt you.
'To bear life’s burdens with courage and joy'
