You Can't

You're right, you can't.
You can't make it through this.
You can't possibly keep going.
You're not strong enough...
                                        ...and you never have been...


Life is too big.
It's too long...
                    ...too hard....
                                              .....alone...


But you're not alone.
Oh, how often you forget!
How often you look only to yourself and expect that to be enough.
How often you ignore His ever-present help.
How often you come to Him exhausted, instead of seeking His help in the first place.

He will gladly guide you if you ask.
Don't you know that He loves to be asked?


Friend, He is faithful.
He will never abondon you.
He is stronger than anything that may arise against you.
He has already won the victory.

You will not give up.
You are not alone.




What a Friend we have in Jesus, all our sins and griefs to bear!
What a privilege to carry everything to God in prayer!
O what peace we often forfeit, O what needless pain we bear,
All because we do not carry everything to God in prayer.


Have we trials and temptations? Is there trouble anywhere?
We should never be discouraged; take it to the Lord in prayer.
Can we find a friend so faithful who will all our sorrows share?
Jesus knows our every weakness; take it to the Lord in prayer.


Are we weak and heavy laden, cumbered with a load of care?
Precious Savior, still our refuge, take it to the Lord in prayer.
Do your friends despise, forsake you? Take it to the Lord in prayer!
In His arms He’ll take and shield you; you will find a solace there.


Blessed Savior, Thou hast promised Thou wilt all our burdens bear
May we ever, Lord, be bringing all to Thee in earnest prayer.
Soon in glory bright unclouded there will be no need for prayer
Rapture, praise and endless worship will be our sweet portion there.
