Carry the sun in your pocket, I suppose
How is this possible? you might well ask
Let me tell you what keeps away my woes
I rely on someone who's been through it all
He always knows just what I need
He's felt every pain and He knows every balm
From every trap He knows how to be freed
What about carrying the sun in your pocket?
That would sure make your life glow
My faith in my Comforter burns with a radiant heat
And it's with me wherever I go
So I can press on through the darkest of caves
Because the Creator of the sun has declared
That through storms and hardships of every kind
He will not leave me alone, comfortless, or scared
Sometimes as a missionary, life is hard. I'm confident this is not just a "missionary problem". Everyone will weather their fair share of storms. That is simply a part of life. What we can choose to do is to have faith. I have found that when we approach challenges armed with faith, we can get through whatever adversity comes our way. I've learned to trust in a simple promise made by Jesus Christ: "I will not leave you comfortless: I will come to you." (John 14:18).
