I’ve had many tears and sorrows
I’ve had questions for tomorrow
There’ve been times I didn’t know right from wrong
But in every situation
God gave blessed consolation
That my trials only come to make me strong
I’ve been a lot of places
And I’ve seen so many faces
But there’ve been times I’ve felt so all alone
But in that lonely hour
In that precious, lonely hour
Jesus let me know I was His own
Through it all, through it all
I’ve learned to trust in Jesus
I’ve learned to trust in God
Through it all, through it all
I’ve learned to depend upon His Word
So I thank God for the mountains
And I thank Him for the valleys
I thank Him for the storms He’s brought me through
‘Cause if I never had a problem
I wouldn’t know that He could solve them
I wouldn’t know what faith in His Word could do.

This song has been one I have been going back to many times in the past few days. The Lord has been showing me different things in my life I needed to work on and He has given grace to help me through. There are times in every day that I feel like I can’t go on. And I have been learning to just stop thinking about myself and just start counting my blessings or praising God for what He has done.
I wanted to encourage you to read through this song, let it sink deep into your heart. Take a moment to remember you are not alone. Each one of us are facing something that I don’t know of. It may be a physical, mental, or spiritual problem. I want you to know that you are not traveling the path of discouragement or troubles alone. I understand and feel for you. But there is one who is longing for you to just give yourself up to HIM. He wants you to trust wholly on Him.
I am just passing along reminders that I got this past week and wanted to share it in case there was someone today that needed a word of encouragement. Friend, you are not alone and Jesus wants to touch your life. I hope this song can bless you like it has me.
Through it all, I have learned (am learning) to Trust in Jesus and to depend upon His WORD.
