I found this poem on a card once. Glad I did.
I just love the way it personifies God without being overly sermonic or 'emotionally motivating'- if you know what I mean. I keep coming back to it every now and then.

One thing can always cheer me
When I’m feeling sad and low
When I tire of daily trials
That I have to undergo,
When those who should
Seem closest, seem like
People I don’t know,
One thing can always cheer me
I know that God is near me.

One thing can always cheer me
When I do not understand
How pain and sadness
In our lives
Can get so out of hand,
When the best of human efforts
Doesn’t meet the days demands,
One thing can always cheer me
I know that God is always near me.

One thing can always cheer me
More than anything I’ve known
And show me I will never
Have to struggle on my own
For no matter what might happen
I will never be alone
The thing that will always cheer me
Is just knowing God is near me.
