Clouds were thick and gray;

Dreary morn to my disdain.

Even so, God told,

“Do not be dismayed.”

Quietly I sat to pray

For his help to cope

On this darkened day.

He then brightened my pathway

With his Light of Hope.

Isaiah 41:10 (Holy Bible New International Version):

“Do not fear for I am with you; do not be dismayed for I am your God. I will strengthen you and help me: I will uphold you with my righteous right hand.”
