Thank you Lord for the trials~

Thank you Lord for the trials that come my way,
In that way I can grow each day as I let You lead.
And thank You, Lord, for the patience those trials bring,
In that process of growing I can learn to care.

But it goes against the way I am to put my human nature down,
And let the Spirit take control of all I do.
'Cause when those trials come, my human nature shouts the things to do;
And God's soft prompting can be easily ignored.

I thank You Lord with each trial I feel inside,
That You're there to help lead and guide me away from wrong.
For You promised O Lord that with every testing, that Your way of escaping is easier to bear.

But it goes against the way I am to put my human nature down,
And let the Spirit take control of all I do.
For when those trials come, my human nature shouts the thing to do;
And God's soft prompting can be easily ignored.

Thank You Lord for the victory that growing brings,
In surrender of everything life is so worthwhile.
And I thank You Lord that when everything's put in place,
Out in front I can see Your face, and it's there You belong.

But it goes against the way I am to put my human nature down,
And let the Spirit take control of all I do.
For when those trials come, my human nature shouts the thing to do;
And God's soft prompting can be easily ignored.

So give me strength to do Thy holy will, my Lord~ My Lord.

"Blessed is the one who perseveres under trial because, having stood the test, that person will receive the crown of life that the Lord has promised to those who love him. When tempted, no one should say, “God is tempting me.” For God cannot be tempted by evil, nor does he tempt anyone; but each person is tempted when they are dragged away by their own evil desire and enticed." (James 1:12-14)

"So, if you think you are standing firm, be careful that you don’t fall! No temptation has overtaken you except what is common to mankind. And God is faithful; he will not let you be tempted beyond what you can bear. But when you are tempted, he will also provide a way out so that you can endure it." (1 Corinthians 10:12-14)

Dear Lord Jesus, thank You for seeing me through every single trial in my life. There were times when I fail You, but you picked me up each time and let me soar on wings like an eagle. Thank You Lord!

Forever thankful~ :)
