Rejoicing Trials
Be very happy and do your best,
Do not fret when faced with a test;
Faith gives endurance for the hope,
So you will be able to cope.
Endure until testing is done,
And pray for the strength through the Son;
Then you are complete and mature,
Not tempted by an evil lure.
For you will not need anything,
Except for the cross that you cling;
Since agony tends to prolong,
If your faith does not remain strong.
If you might need wisdom to know,
What you should do or where to go;
Then you should never be afraid,
For God to help and render aid.
Ask for to be given to you,
And God makes sure you will get through;
For He is generous and kind,
With mercifulness to ease your mind.
His goodness will never condemn,
Nor does has He found fault in them;
If you are not shedding a doubt,
Of your link to God is about.
People with doubts are like a wave,
As the temptation that will crave;
For more wind tossing up the sea,
But will die when the wind does flee.
