Ps.46:1
God is our refuge and strength,
an ever-present help in trouble.
Surely God is my helper;
the Lord is the sustainer of my soul.
My help comes from the LORD,
the Maker of heaven and earth.
Psalm 9:9-10
The LORD is a refuge for the oppressed,
a stronghold in times of trouble.
Those who know Your name trust in You,
for You, O LORD, have not forsaken those who seek You.
The LORD is good, a stronghold in the day of distress;
He cares for those who trust in Him.
Do not fear, for I am with you;
do not be afraid, for I am your God.
I will strengthen you; I will surely help you;
I will uphold you with My righteous right hand.
How often, like a child we may rest our head
on our Heavenly Father's shoulder or knee!
How often, like a child we plead for his help
because 'we don't know how to do it' alone!
How often, like a child He gathers us into His arms
And carries us close to His heart!
How often, like a child we pour our need to He
Who knows what trouble tries our trust and how hard it can be
How often like a child, with face all wet with tears
We cry to God, who helps us through the valley of our fears
Our Heavenly Father cares; goodness and mercy's Fount
Attends to our poured out prayers with blessing beyond count
How often, like a child, we fix on what we see
Our Heavenly Father tries our faith with loving sympathy
He works for our good and we should not rebel
Like a Father, He loves each child beyond what words can tell
He beckons to a world of children 'come to Me'
Will we obey and trust His love or resist bitterly?
How often like a child, we do not understand
The purpose for the discipline from Loving Father's Hand
Our Father in Heaven, hear and help us today
For, like a child we need a kind Father to show the way
Then, like a Father You tend to our helpless cry
You know exactly what we need and faithfully reply
Janet Martin
Matt.6:9
After this manner therefore pray ye:
Our Father which art in heaven,
Hallowed be thy name...
