God's Promise

God didn't promise days without pain,
Laughter without sorrow
Or sun without rain

But God did promise
Strength for the day
Comfort for the tears
and light for the way.

And for all who believe
In his kingdom above
He answers their faith
with everlasting love.

God, grant me the serenity to accept the things I cannot change,
Courage to change the things I can,
And wisdom to know the difference.
