Suffer & struggle 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.

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

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

In Jesus’ suffering, God’s path
To bless fallen man
In His cross, our daily dying
God has shown us, His plan.

‘In Me, you have peace’
Spoke Jesus, God’s Son
‘In the world, tribulation
Be courageous… I’ve overcome’.

When confronted by suffering
With reasons unclear
Will we choose to grow better
Or grow bitter, with fears.

Remember our brethren
In starvation and need
Persecuted, forgotten
Daily, do intercede.

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

So be ready, prepare
For our freedom is fading
Our faith is attacked
Great wickedness, invading.

Do protect each Believer
Amidst hardship, remoteness
Fill them with Your Presence
Grant wisdom and boldness.
