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

Finding Joy In Our Trials

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.

Have you learnt to give thanks
Though adversities grow
Can you trust in the Lord
When no answers show?

For He knows your way
And when He has tested
You shall come forth as gold
In Him ….you’re so blessed.
