Trials Are My Friends

During my walk with You

Trials come and go.

I prefer them to go away,

But they seem to always stay.

How I hated them

They were not my friend.

Intruders that’s what they are,

Making my life so bizarre.

You ask me to be thankful

For everything.

So open my eyes to see,

How blessed it is to be me.

Through these friends

You show me how great You are.

You’re producing for me

An eternal glory that far

Outweighs them all.

I’m here to say,

I’m thankful for the my friends

“Trials”

They show me how much I need You,

Beautify me through each situation

 And I will make an affirmation,

I will say,

  My God, You are loving and sovereign, Father.

Thank You for this day

And

Thank You, my Father

For each and every trial.

I welcome them with a smile.

In everything give thanks; for this is the will of God in Christ Jesus for you.

1 Thessalonians 5:18
