Traversing the valley of the shadow of death,<\/p>\n

Like David from our biblical past,<\/p>\n

We are never alone in our suffering.<\/p>\n

Life continues to exact its punishing toll,<\/p>\n

Where a few missed breaths may mean eternity,<\/p>\n

Traversing the valley of the shadow of death.<\/p>\n

As light that continues shining from long-dead stars,<\/p>\n

During moments of snuffed-out hope,<\/p>\n

We are never alone in our suffering.<\/p>\n

Being threaded through the eye of a needle<\/p>\n

Like Job, \u201cWhat I feared has come upon me,\u201d<\/p>\n

Traversing the valley of the shadow of death.<\/p>\n

We become accustomed to everything, but departing,<\/p>\n

Yet God stands with us in our trials.<\/p>\n

We are never alone in our suffering.<\/p>\n

As runners about to break the tape in the<\/p>\n

Final \u2014 most important \u2014 race of life,<\/p>\n

Traversing the valley of the shadow of death,<\/p>\n

We are never alone in our suffering.<\/p>\n
