Let Your Heart Be Untroubled, and Be of Good Cheer!
David had troubles, his heart was enlarged,
His pain and affliction, could not be discharged.
God heard all his crying, and answered his prayer.
“Let your heart be untroubled, and be of good cheer.”

Was lowered by friends as our Lord gave his talk,

Thank you Gene for sharing your beautiful Poem.
As I was reading I was reminded that Our Lord’s promises are always but one decision away.
When the World bombards us with tribulation and suffering we have been given the power to decide to not let our hearts be troubled or afraid.
Let not or do not allow
Thank you again!
Joyful 😀!
