A Brighter Day There'll be a brighter day tomorrow Just trust in God He'll share your sorrow. Oh lay your cares at the Saviors feet And when you do you'll feel complete. He'll recreate your life once torn You'll feel like you've just been reborn. Give praise to Him and then you feel His love and strength to help you deal. With life's hard times though often sad He'll give you joy and make you glad. Look to the Lord just trust in Him He lifts us up when we feel grim. So don't look back just keep on praying You'll feel His presence softly saying "I'll fill your cup and take your pain You've nothing to lose but all to gain. Come unto Me I'll give you rest I'll comfort you through troubling tests." Though they seem long He'll make a way To lead you on to a brighter day. -- Betty Nasr
Hymn: What a Friend we have in Jesus 1.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. 2.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. 3.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. 4.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. -- J.M. Scriven & C.C. Converse -- Matthew 11:28-30 28 Come to Me, all you who are weary and burdened, and I will give you rest. 29 Take My yoke upon you and learn from Me, for I am gentle and humble in heart, and you will find rest for your souls. 30 For My yoke is easy and My burden is light. -- John 15:5 I am the vine; you are the branches. If a man remains in Me and I in him, he will bear much fruit; apart from Me you can do nothing.
-- Romans 8:1-2; 26-28 1 There is therefore now no condemnation to those who are in Christ Jesus, who do not walk according to the flesh, but according to the Spirit. 2 For the law of the Spirit of life in Christ Jesus has made me free from the law of sin and death. 26 In the same way, the Spirit helps us in our weakness. We do not know what we ought to pray for, but the Spirit Himself intercedes for us with groans that words cannot express. 27 And He who searches our hearts knows the mind of the Spirit, because the Spirit intercedes for the saints in accordance with God’s will. 28 And we know that in all things God works for the good of those who love Him, who have been called according to His purpose. -- John 3:3, 5 3 In reply Jesus declared, "I tell you the truth, no one can see the kingdom of God unless he is Born Again." ++ 5 Jesus answered, "I tell you the truth, no one can enter the kingdom of God unless he is Born of water and the Spirit." -- Romans 6:4 We were therefore buried with Him through baptism into death in order that, just as Christ was raised from the dead through the glory of the Father, we too may live a New life. -- 1 Peter 1:23 For you have been born again, but not to a life that will quickly end. Your New Life will last forever because it comes from the eternal, living Word of God. -- Colossians 3:1-4 1 Since you have been raised to New Life with Christ, set your sights on the realities of heaven, where Christ sits in the place of honor at God’s right hand. 2 Think about the things of heaven, not the things of earth. 3 For you died to this life, and your real life is hidden with Christ in God. 4 And when Christ, who is your life, is revealed to the whole world, you will share in all His glory. -- 1 Peter 1:3-4 3 Praise be to the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ! In His great mercy He has given us New Birth into a living hope through the resurrection of Jesus Christ from the dead, 4 and into an inheritance that can never perish, spoil or fade -- kept in heaven for you. -- 2 Corinthians 1:3-7 3 Praise be to the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, the Father of compassion and the God of all comfort, 4 Who comforts us in all our troubles, so that we can comfort those in any trouble with the comfort we ourselves have received from God. 5 For just as the sufferings of Christ flow over into our lives, so also through Christ our comfort overflows. 6 If we are distressed, it is for your comfort and salvation; if we are comforted, it is for your comfort, which produces in you patient endurance of the same sufferings we suffer. 7 And our hope for you is firm, because we know that just as you share in our sufferings, so also you share in our comfort. //////////////////////////////// -- Isaiah 43:18-19 18 Forget the former things; do not dwell on the past. 19 See, I am doing a New thing! Now it springs up; do you not perceive it? I am making a way in the desert and streams in the wasteland. -- Isaiah 40:1 "Comfort, comfort My people," says your God. -- Isaiah 49:13 Shout for joy, O heavens; rejoice, O earth; burst into song, O mountains! For the LORD comforts His people and will have compassion on His afflicted ones. -- Psalms 119:48-50 48 I lift up my hands to Your Commands, which I love, and I meditate on Your Decrees. 49 Remember Your Word to your servant, for You have given me hope. 50 My comfort in my suffering is this: Your promise preserves my life. -- Psalms 51:10-13 10 Create in me a pure heart, O God, and renew a steadfast spirit within me. 11 Do not cast me from Your presence or take Your Holy Spirit from me. 12 Restore to me the joy of Your salvation and grant me a willing spirit, to sustain me. 13 Then I will teach transgressors Your ways, and sinners will turn back to You. -- Psalms 23 1 The LORD is my shepherd, I shall not be in want. 2 He makes me lie down in green pastures, He leads me beside quiet waters, 3 He restores my soul. He guides me in paths of righteousness for His name’s sake. 4 Even though I walk through the valley of the shadow of death, I will fear no evil, for You are with me; Your rod and your staff, they comfort me. 5 You prepare a table before me in the presence of my enemies. You anoint my head with oil; my cup overflows. 6 Surely goodness and love will follow me all the days of my life, and I will dwell in the house of the LORD forever.
