Trust in the Lord with all your heart.
—Proverbs 3:5
Louisa Stead, her husband Malcolm, and their four-year-old daughter Lily were enjoying a beach picnic when a boy’s cry for help came from the waves. Malcolm rushed into the surf but was no match for the pull of the tide—he and the boy drowned.
In the excruciating days of emotional convalescence, the darkest period in her life, Louisa Stead wrote the words of ’Tis So Sweet to Trust in Jesus.
I’m so glad I learned to trust Thee,
Precious Jesus, Savior, Friend.
And I know that Thou art with me,
Wilt be with me to the end.
Trust doesn’t survive unchallenged when life dumps you in a dark and lonely patch. But clothed in trust, you’ll get through your tough times.
Trust is your armor when adversity assaults you.
