Trials All Around ~

Trials, trials are all around,
don’t know when they’ll come
but, we can be sure of this . . .
there’ll be more than just some.

Trials, here and everywhere,
arrive in all sizes and shapes
don’t matter if big or small
from them there’s no escape.

Trials, early in the morning,
testings through the afternoon
tribulations in the evening
anytime is ripe and opportune.

Trials, putting us to the test,
trying our faith in every way
hardship, suffering, adversity
looming over us every day.

Trials, trials are all around,
they’re coming for each of us
but, with Jesus and determination
they cannot destroy our trust!

~~~~~~~~~~

James 1:2-3

My brethren, count it all joy
when ye fall into divers temptations;
Knowing this, that the trying
of your faith worketh patience.

All Because ~

In this life, there will be troubles,
trials and tribulations too
in this world, we will be hated
all because ~ Lord, we love You.

In this life, there will be heartache,
seasons of tears, reasons to grieve
in this world, we will be detested
all because ~ in You we believe.

In this life, there will be hardships,
difficulties, struggles and defeat
in this world, we will be disliked
all because ~ You make us complete.

In this life, we will have problems,
battles, fights with the impossible
in this world, we will not be liked
all because ~ in You all is possible.

In this life, things won’t be easy,
but as Christians we’ll make it through
in this world, we’ll not have favor
all because ~ Lord, we trust in You !

Acts 14:22
King James Version

“Confirming the souls of the disciples,
and exhorting them to continue in the faith,
and that we must through much tribulation
to enter into the kingdom of God.”

You’re Not Alone ~

You’re not alone,
Jesus is with you always
no matter your load
He’ll show you His ways.

The storms they will calm,
if Jesus you anchor to
for He has promised
He’ll never leave you.

Be of good courage,
forsaken you’ll not be
when enduring trials
know Jesus is with thee.

Do not let your doubt,
take away His peace
the winds now blowing
He’ll soon cause to cease.

You’re not alone,
Jesus is right there
and He wants from you
your every care!

Hebrews 13:5b
King James Version

“For he hath said,
I will never leave thee,
nor forsake thee.”
