The Words of A Wounded Heart Have you ever lost your desire to smile, Because all of life's problems are cramping your style? He can put that smile back on your face, With just a touch of His love and grace. Have you ever lost the joy of your salvation, Because circumstances bring stress and frustration? You may not understand what's going on, But the Lord has promised to never leave you alone. Have you ever felt that you could not pray, That you just couldn't find the right words to say? Bow down before His precious Holy Spirit, Without even speaking, our Savior will hear it. Have you ever felt your heart breaking inside, But there were no tears to come to your eyes? He is worthy of your adoration and praise, In the way you live and the things you say. Have you ever just thought of praising the Lord, Who is worthy to be honored and adored? Everything else will just fall into place, When you bow before Him in glory and praise. --by Karen Icenhour

Wow! that's good saying and it's true. I had experienced the feelings of them. And what I can hold on in time of this feeling is in the line "But the Lord has promised to never leave you alone."

Thanks so much for this discussion. I must say am encouraged, because I have been experiencing a lot of stress, eventhough I read the bible and I encouraged others who are discouraged, but sometimes I find it very difficult to put myself in position. Financial problems have been keeping away from furthering my education, but I do know that the plans of God for me is to give me an expected end. Thanks for reminding and encouraging me the more. Have a nice day and God bless you.
