Maybe this one has conflict great and sore, Is struggling long and hard 'gainst grim despair, And God who rules the thought and mind of man Has brought him this long way to you for prayer. Then do not drive these whisperings from your mind Nor cast them carelessly upon the wind: 'Tis but the voice of God, in tender care For suffering one on life's broad way somewhere, Inviting you to plead for him in prayer. Kind friend, if at morning, noon, or night I come to thee on wings of memory, It is no doubt because the fight is fierce; Then will you bow and pray to God for me? HE CARETH FOR THEE. Life will never be successful unless we learn to let God care for us. Unless we have faith to know that God is our keeper and that hence we have nothing to fear, we shall never be the cheer and sunlight in this dark world that God designed us to be. This is a world of trouble. Sin envelops many souls in awful midnight gloom. Some may never find Jesus unless they see him smiling in your face. You as God's dear child are to be a light to those poor, benighted souls. To be such a light, you must be full of light, and to be full of light you must be full of hope by faith in the cheering and encouraging promises of God. None can be truly happy, none can be the cheer, comfort, and consolation to the world, who are bearing their own burdens. Only those who have learned the sweet lesson of trust in God and know that he cares for them are truly happy and free and capable of cheering others. He who this one short life would live As heaven has designed Must scatter rays of cheering light From a heart with Hope enshrined. There are many priceless promises in the Word of God. There is a promise for every need, condition, and circumstance of life. Among these blessed promises, here is one that has brought comfort to many a weary pilgrim on life's way: "Casting all your care upon him; for he careth for you." 1 Pet. 5:7. If this promise does not lift you far above all the trials, discouragements, and weariness of life, it is because you do not believe it nor understand the fulness of its meaning. "He careth for <i>you</i>." It is not your neighbor or your friend, but it is you. Cares will come to you, certainly; you could never cast your cares upon God if you had none. But you have them and doubtless many of them. The difficulty with many is, they do not cast them on God. Reader, your life will never be, it can not be, that free, happy, radiant, sunlit, helpful life that pleases God, if you bear your own cares.
