When Painful Trials (New)

Missing image

When painful trials.. 

Creep into our path

We're prone to tiptoe

Back into our past

We wallow so long

In the pit falls of mud

Then further we wander

Into the great water floods

 

 

God's great intention

That we learn from our past

By trusting and obeying

Makes simple the task

It's in the valley's

The Lord may lay us low

Perhaps like a baby

First learns how to crawl

 

 

We take the steps

Holding our fathers hand

He cares, however

We, fall or stand

Life isn't always like..

The radiance of spring

A baby first cries

Before she can sing

 

 

Troubles may come

But feel not your trapped

God make us, fearless,

With Him there's no gaps

Keep your eyes on the savior

The highways are already mapped

 

 

We're taught from our Father

The faith to look up

As he fills from the bottom

These empty cups

God dosn't make us stumble

But rather helps us up

He takes us by the hand

Until were strong enough

 

 

So when painful trials come

Don't tiptoe back into the past

Have faith in the Father

All good things come,

To those who patiently wait

What should I do to make poem more effective
