For my friend

Today I heard from a friend who is struggling through her difficult battle with chemotherapy for cancer. It is a very difficult experience. Please keep her in your prayers.

When stormy winds against us break

Stablish and reinforce our will;

O hear us for Thine own name's sake,

Hold us in strength, and hold us still.

Still as the faithful mountains stand,

Through the long, silent years of stress;

So would we wait at Thy right hand

In quietness and steadfastness.

but not of us this strength, O Lord,

And not of us this constancy.

Our trust is Thine eternal Word,

Thy presence our security.
