When
adversity tempts me ask why
Lord,
may I instead ask what
What
work are You doing in and through these trials
Hard
circumstances and difficulties abound
The
Lord has allowed, designed and purposed each one
He
is using them to accomplish His good work
You
help me to see my weakness
Profound
needs that only God can meet
I
recognize the foolishness in what I once thought was wise
You’ve
exposed lies so cleverly disguised as truth
Revealed
the brokenness of my heart, mind and soul
The
utter depravity of my heart and desperate need for a Savior
All
these and more drive me to You, O Lord
The
world may be out of my control
But
it’s firmly in control in the hands the LORD God
Lord,
help me to trust You
To
trust Your character
Believe
what You’ve revealed about Yourself in Scripture
May
I not doubt You O Lord
For
You alone are truth and grace
Righteous
and just in administering a severe mercy
