Many times in our lives we find ourselves in the middle of the valley. We are weak, tired, and feel empty. It seems we get a busy signal when we pray.
When my head hits the pillow at night, whether I’m on the glorious mountain top with my Lord or in the valley; I say, “The Lord is my Shepherd.” It never fails to give me a peaceful confidence.
If we know that Jesus, the Great Shepherd, is leading us — if we know that He is in absolute control of all of the paths of life — then we can pass through the shadows in peace and security, Psa. 37:23.
Psalm 23:4 Yea, though I walk through the valley of the shadow of death, I will fear no evil: for thou art with me; thy rod and thy staff they comfort me.
The God on the mountain is still God in the valley.

“Life is easy, when you're up on the mountain, — And you've got peace of mind like you've never known. — But things change, when you're down in the valley; — Don't lose faith, for you are never alone.
Chorus:
“For the God on the mountain is still God in the valley. — When things go wrong, He'll make them right. — And the God of the good times is still God in the bad times. — The God of the day is still God in the night.
“We talk of faith way up on the mountain; — But talk comes easy when life's at its best. — Now its down in the valley of trials and temptations; — Thats where your faith is really put to the test.”
