God is my light in the darkness

God is my peace in anguish

God is my joy in sadness

God is my strength in weakness

God is my guide in the storm

God is my refuge in anxiety

God is the one who gives me the air I breathe

God reminds me that I am never alone and

He will always be there for me in in the good times and the bad.
