Encouragement
When things don’t turn out as I think they should,
I praise God because I know He’s working it out for my good.
When I spend my midnight hours walking the floors
Praying that God opens locked doors,
And He doesn’t do it as I thought He would,
I praise Him because I know He’s working it out for my good.
When my pillow is all wet with sorrowful tears,
And my mind wonders back to the struggles I’ve had through the years,
I don’t fret when I remember when God didn’t make a way when I knew He could
Because I realize that even when He says “No”, He’s working it out for my good.
As I think back on broken relationships: the deception, the heartache and pain,
I realize I have no reason or cause to point fingers or place blame
Because God cut me off from people and people off from me as He should;
For, ending those relationships were working out for my good.
When considering my faults, failures, and disappointments too,
I don’t feel bad about all that I’ve had to go through
Because in all of my suffering, God knew and understood
That it was in my best interest, and He worked it out for my good.
So, don’t fret over life when things seem to go wrong
Because it all works together to help you along,
And God steps in only when He should
Because He’s working all things out for your good.
What doesn’t kill you will make you strong
And help you get to the place where you truly belong
Because God stands by His promises as He said He would;
For, He promises to work all things out for our good.
