Tempests and Storms Archives - A Doctor's Cure for the Soul

If in Christ, Victims or Victors?

So not to focus, on our feelings;
But recall, our Victor, Jesus;
Not to fall into self-pity;
We are victorious, He’s ever with us.

So depending, not on others
Their affirmation and praise
And no matter our lot
Be a God-Vector, always.

Yes, do count it all joy
In the midst of your trials
God is working, to produce
Active endurance, as He disciples.

Are we seeing beyond
Life’s heartaches and pain
Great suffering, and sorrow
…Yet see God, bring gain?

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

‘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.

Satan came before God
In heaven to accuse
Not to worship, nor praise
But Job, to misuse.

We may face many storms
Struggling and battling
So tempted to question
Lord, why is this happening?

As we worship our King
No distractions, nor despair
No trials, nor temptations
All perfect splendor, forever there.
