Poetry

---

When troubles may have come your way,
Do not allow yourself to stray;
Rather think of joy and being glad,
And not being stressed out and sad.

Be very happy with a test,
Knowing that you will do your best;
Allowing your faith to endure,
As the temptations try to lure.

Endure until the test is done,
And thank the Father and the Son;
For proving your faith is sincere,
And are able to persevere.

Then you feel even more mature,
That you really could lock the door;
The blocking of those worldly things,
As only the desire brings.

Only godly wisdom you need,
For your brain in planting the seed;
That God would be willing to share,
If you merely ask Him in prayer.

When you ask never have a doubt,
If God is glad to help you out;
For if you do truly believe,
There is no doubt you will receive.
