Believe when the nights are long

and you feel all alone

when your dreams turn to dust

and all your friends are gone.

♥

When your body groans

and everything in you aches

when you can’t keep your food down

and bad dreams keep you awake.

♥♥

When everyone tells you there is no hope

and a voice within you agrees

when your way gets harder and darker

and tears blind you so you cannot see.

♥♥♥

Believe when you’re searching for a place you fit,

yearning for a home.

when you find yourself in a perpetual wilderness

where you just wander and roam.

♥♥♥♥

When you labor and toil,

try so hard, do your best

when you always seem to come up short

a mere point shy of passing the test.

♥♥♥♥♥

Yes, your troubles are many

but God has made a way.

So dry your eyes, keep believing and remember:

Even the longest nights must always yield to day.
