Pruning & transforming in trials Archives - A Doctor's Cure for the Soul

Adversity? – God means it for good

And so, no matter our lot
Walk by faith, and not sight
Cling to God’s Word, His grace
Midst our darkness, His light.

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

God uses all ways
To turn up the heat
To soften our hearts
Our hardness, defeat.

When we’re failing and falling
And we’re hitting, rock bottom
We can stand, on Christ Jesus
Our sure Rock, and still blossom.

Ask God change your view
Give thanksgiving each day
Let His Spirit control
Let Him teach you to pray.

Yes, held to God’s Word
His promises, and provision
Believed God would guide
Abraham’s hope and vision.

So then friend, you can find
In your darkest, deep hour
God is ever, our hope
Can uphold us, by His power.

For our testing and trial
Are to strengthen our trust
As He bids us, to believe
All to Him, entrust.

Do count it all joy
When trials fall your way
For the testing of faith
Builds patience, each day.

And so count it all joy
Tho’ He prunes, ’tis worthwhile
Bear more fruit, of God’s Spirit
Do give thanks, for each trial.
