As things in life begin to wane, life can fill with hurt and pain, <br />And one may even slip into fear, as dark times do draw near, <br />Whether health or just this life, times that wane bring us strife, <br />Call them trials or even a test; they sure can try the very best. <br /> <br />But, as Believers in The Lord, our hard times are not ignored, <br />While He remains in control, of our difficulties, big and small, <br />With this Truth, we bear in mind; The Lord God, is not unkind, <br />Knowing all that we will face, God grants us sustaining Grace. <br /> <br />Jesus Christ, being fully aware, knows just what we can bear, <br />And allows no more our way, than we can handle, day to day, <br />Knowing all, that is to come, and where our trials will be from, <br />So as The Lord does His part, as Believers we trust His heart. <br /> <br />All’s achieved for God’s Glory, with our trials part of the story, <br />And as for us, it’s understood, trials are allowed for our good, <br />Although we don’t understand, just how God moves His hand, <br />We completely trust all of our life, to God’s Son, Jesus Christ. <br /> <br />All life’s obstacles we can overcome, in the Power of His Son, <br />Who taking sin’s penalty for all, makes my trials all quite small, <br />Gaining over sin total Victory, He allots us power from Calvary, <br />And He guides me in that power, through my very darkest hour. <br /> <br />(Copyright ©07/2010)<br /><br />Bob Gotti<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/through-difficult-times/
