Blest Optimism Vis-A-Vis the 27 Club

My cogitations after learning about THE 27 CLUB*:
Confronted with secrets of existence My soul strives to remain optimistic As I resolve what seems enigmatic Trusting God, anchored on faith’s persistence. Here am I, seeking the Lord’s instruction Cognizant that His way** is always best Through the Holy Ghost’s blessed guiding zest Expressed by the Scriptures’ revelation. Midst survival-battle of puzzling bouts My spirit finds sure victory in Christ Vanquishing unbelief, wisdom-sufficed While secured by His truth against doubts Thankful for divine vision, glowing bright My heart rests and basks in the Saviour’s love Surmounting dilemmas with peace above Sharing gift*** of life along heaven’s light.
*The 27 Club includes popular musicians, artists, actors, and other celebrities who died at age 27,[7] often as a result of drug and alcohol abuse or violent means such as homicide, suicide, or transportation-related accidents. **John 14:6 of the King James Bible (Words in bold complete the assertion of Jesus Christ). ***Romans 6:23 For the wages of sin is death; but the gift of God is eternal life through Jesus Christ our Lord.

I like how you approached this contest. May have finished higher if you mentioned some from the club, but I like the focus, especially that third stanza.
