God uses trials to transform us 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.

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

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.

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

Yes LORD, midst oppression
May Your people shine bright
That multitudes of Afghani’s
Turn from darkness, to light.

His bloodshed, our new birth
By God’s Spirit, divine
From death, now resurrection
LORD, all the glory is Thine!
