Suffering Archives - A Doctor's Cure for the Soul

In Every Trial and Storm

Be not discouraged, nor despair
As He prepares you, in Christ
Working all things for good
By grace in Him, fully sufficed.

And yet our hope is not in weapons
The arm of flesh, will fail
Pray Israel trust in the LORD
Know her Messiah, wholly prevail.

Why do You stand
Afar off, O LORD?
Why do You hide
Amidst troubles, outpoured?

Fully trusting God’s promises
With obedience to His word
Being steadfastness in prayer
By circumstances, undeterred.

God offers a promise
If His people will pray
And humble ourselves
Walk in His way.

So, the standard Islamic narrative
All the stories they tell
Are unfounded, by any facts
For pure deceptions, they fell.

With each worldview different answers,
Made in God’s image, Judeo-Christian.
With only Jesus addressing evil,
Conquered sin, restores and listens.

Who am I, my meaning?
Just why am I here?
My purpose, my mission?
Few have ears to hear.

You are my hiding place
And also my shield
I hope in Your Word
There Your love, revealed.

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