St. Mark's United Methodist Church in Florissant, MO

 In times of stress, or grief, or temptation, 
 we often do not live up to God’s plan for us. 
 
 Like Peter, we deny Jesus. 
 Jesus never denies us. 
 
 Like Thomas, we doubt 
 the resurrection and the life. 
 Jesus never doubts the value 
 that God has placed in us. 
 
 Like Saul of Tarsus, 
 we hate those whose faith is strange to us. 
 Jesus sees a deeper good waiting in our hearts. 
 
 When we rebel against 
 God’s love for all his children, 
 when we deny the value of any human soul, 
 Jesus still walks with us. 
 His healing hand reaches out. 
 Be still my soul, the Lord is on your side.
