Overcoming Adversity

Have you learnt to give thanks
Though adversities grow
Can you trust, the Lord God
When no answers show?

Jesus taught us to love
Not just neighbors, but foes
Yes, to love our enemies
If even cursing…bless those.

Have you learnt to release
Every burden you bear
Let go of each weight
And sin, to God’s care.

Offer all, at His altar
Our bodies, He purchased
As living sacrifices, holy
Well pleasing… our service.

Know hurts to our heart
Must be forgiven
Our pain, and revenge
We’re in our own ‘prison’.

May our wants and our will
Be in line, with the Lord
Lest our hearts become hard
And resentments, are stored.

Get rid of the junk
In your mind and heart
Wrong thoughts and motives
That mar, tear apart.

So, if caught in a valley
Set your mind on Him
Stay faithful, and follow
Ask He fill you within.
