Strengthening Your Faith


James 1:2-7

Counting as joy when you fall in temptation,
Merely testing of your faith in a vexation;
Let patience work for you not for to allow,
Your emotions to control of all you endow;
You may increase perfection with no desire,
Rather than earthly it's Heaven you acquire;
If lacking wisdom give God your request,
Gracefully giving liberally to do your best;
If you waver as a wave you could be lost,
As the wave driven by wind and is tossed;
For let not anyone think they will receive,
Anything of the Lord unless they believe.
Temptation can play tricks on your mind,
Deceiving you into treachery being unkind;
As patience keeps your emotions checked,
Curbing your earthly desires from interject;
In feeling tempted pray to God with a plea,
Asking Him for wisdom in giving a decree;
Your faith will strengthen for to be bold,
Rationally reason temptation to withhold.
