Grace given as needed Archives - A Doctor's Cure for the Soul

Victorious Suffering

Set our mind, on things above
Tho’ still suffering, not healed
Be not focused, on our feelings
Walk by faith, in our ordeal.

So, while we may not be healed
Nor from suffering, delivered
But instead of dejection
We can rejoice, not be embittered.

For Jesus only, our Creator
Living in us, He can supply
His grace, ever sufficient
Simply trust Him, and abide.

In Christ we are righteous
Through Him, overcome
By His Spirit, victorious
Our battles are won!

Yes, those bugs and frustrations
God allows, each our way
Are to get our attention
Cause us turn, and obey.

So do pray, that our hearts
Remain steadfast, unmoved
Walk by faith, not feelings
In Christ, wholly approved.

We’re made to give thanks
Praise God’s Holy Name
Yes, whatever our lot
Be grateful, all the same.

For our focus is body
But God speaks to the soul
Our faith, His redemption
These make a man whole.

So, until that day comes
When all evil is ended
Claim victory, in prayer
Overcome, we’re defended.

For our Father, the vine-dresser
Is pruning, discarding
As branches, of His vine
For more fruit…keep abiding.
