Things happen for the good of everyone; <br />At times, they seem so strangely shocking too; <br />God’s plans are ultimately rightly done; <br />There’s nothing that bad minds can truly do. <br /> <br />God knows each soul before its creation! <br />He gives the freedom to live as we like; <br />God guides each person and every nation; <br />Sin is the thing that He does sure dislike. <br /> <br />Man’s selfishness brings troubles quite galore; <br />He blames the environs and sometimes God; <br />Dissatisfaction burns afire more; <br />He quite forgets the Universe’s Lord! <br /> <br />When trials come, O Lord, protect me please; <br />I pray my earthly journey’s full of peace.<br /><br />Dr John Celes<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/sonnet-when-trials-come/
