God gives grace amidst trials 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.

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.

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

So, despite such depravity
The height of men’s evil
You will comfort, and care
LORD God, Your own people.

So, remember they’re family
Forget not, stay prayerful
Your brothers and sisters
In Christ… do be faithful.

For persecution’s rewarded
Such an honor to bear
To walk the way, of His cross
In His sufferings, His life share.

And there, no more pain
Soon glory, and splendor
God’s presence and peace
His kingdom, forever.
