Along that line to let your cry of distress follow.<\/p>\n<p class=\"Day\">Thus you will find I do My part, and deliverance will be sure. Oh! The gladness of heart. Lightened you will be, the burden rolled away, as the result of looking to Me.<\/p>\n<p class=\"Day\">The shame and distress will be lifted too. That is always the <i> second<\/i> step.
