Twill All Be Right at Last

The Lord is my strength and my shield; my heart trusted in him, and I am helped. (Psalm 28:7a KJV)

 Someone whose anchor held through all the troubles that almost overwhelmed her, and the grief that she endured, and the storms that almost obscured her light was Fanny Crosby. She was a famous American poetess who became blind at six weeks of age through improper medical treatment. She’s often been called the queen of gospel songwriters. Before she went home to be with the Lord at the age of 95 in 1915, she had written more than 8,000 gospel hymns. Millions have been touched by the beauty of the words that flowed from her pen.
 Fanny wrote a song called “Twill All Be Right at Last” on the theme of prayer. Sometimes when we pray for things, we don’t get the answers right away that we’re praying for, and then we start to get discouraged. Here is some encouragement by Fanny Crosby about praying and continuing to pray even though we don’t see the answer.
 We can trust that no matter what we face or how long it takes, everything we commit to the Lord in prayer will all be right at last.—Maria Fontaine [1]

… Pray on, pray on, with steadfast hope,
For thou shalt yet prevail;
“Ask what thou wilt, it shall be done,”
The promise cannot fail.
Cling firmly to the solid rock,
And hold the anchor fast;
The clouds will break, the light will come,
It’ll all be right at last. —Fanny Crosby “Twill All Be Right at Last”
