I Think About a Time of Adversity

I Think About A Time Of Much Uncertainty….

I think about a time going through much uncertainty.
It was a time of much turmoil and adversity!

Things at the time seemed to come “crashing down.”
I wasn’t quite sure if we’d have to leave town

I lost my job and wasn’t sure how to pay the bills.
It seemed like life had “too many hills!”

It was hard sometimes not to have any fears.
At times I struggled to hold back the tears!

But then I felt a tug from the Holy Ghost.
Trusting Jesus was what mattered the most!

I cried out to God with a troubled heart…
I told God I’d love and trust him from the start.

I cried; “Lord if I lose everything else,
 but still have you…”
“You’re all that matters and
 are worth holding on to!”

He gave me the love and strength I needed…
Especially the times I felt worn out and defeated!

God gave me his special unfailing grace…
He put joy in my heart and a smile on my face!

He helped me to understand and begin to see.
I need much more of him and a lot less of me!

He kept our family together during our trials.
Trusting and believing him made
 it worth the while.

I strongly recommend him to you this day.
Where there’s a mountain.  He’ll make a way!

He is the difference when all seems to go wrong.
Into his arms of mercy is where you belong!
