\"Still<\/a><\/p>\n

A prayer for those facing suffering and affliction.<\/p>\n

Be still, and know that I am God;
\nI will be exalted among the nations,
\nI will be exalted in the earth!
\n(Psalm 46:10)<\/p>\n

Let me, Thou sovereign Lord of all,
\nLow at Thy footstool humbly fall;
\nAnd while I feel affliction\u2019s rod,
\nBe still and know that Thou art God.<\/p>\n

Let me not murmur nor repine
\nUnder these trying strokes of Thine;
\nBut while I walk the mournful road
\nBe still and know that Thou art God.<\/p>\n

When and wherever Thou shall smite,
\nTeach me to own Thy sovereign right;
\nAnd underneath the heaviest load,
\nBe still and know that Thou are God.<\/p>\n

Still let this truth support my mind,
\nThou canst not err or be unkind;
\nAnd thus approve Thy chastening rod,
\nAnd know Thou art my Father, God!<\/p>\n

When this afflicted soul shall rise
\nTo ceaseless joys above the skies,
\nI shall, as ransomed by Thy blood,
\nForever sing, \u201cThou art my God!\u201d<\/p>\n

Amen.<\/p>\n

\u201cBe Still and Know That Thou Art God\u201d
