But, oh, when gloomy doubts prevail, I fear to call thee mine; The springs of comfort seem to fail, And all my hopes decline. Yet, gracious God, where shall I flee? Thou art my only trust; And still my soul would cleave to thee, Though prostrate in the dust.

About This Quote

This poem by an unknown author expresses the fear of losing the one you love. When doubts begin to arise, it’s easy to feel like your relationship is crumbling. But this fear needn’t be the case! Your relationship is not built on a foundation of sand. Instead, it can be a solid, concrete foundation that will survive any storm.

In many cases, people who despair of their relationships are actually walking away from something much more real and substantial. The thing to remember is that you want to be with the right person. And a relationship built upon a solid foundation can withstand anything life throws at it.
