God Is At Work In My Afflictions
God knows me needing for urgent care
Beseeching for His assured welfare
Ailing with discontentment’s scare
While longing for His promises I treat as rare.
God brings me to His throne where at His blessings I can stare!
God understands me sighing anxiously
Expressing my complaints sorrowfully
Murmuring about unfairness grudgingly
While questioning my state bitterly.
God counsels me to seek His will meaningfully!
God recognizes me struggling against frustration
Succumbing to sinfulness’ oppression
Leaning toward welcoming desperation
While craving for His pardon’s restoration.
God grants me forgiveness toward Christ-like transformation!
God remembers me cringing in difficulty
Mourning over my self-inflicted calamity
Grieving because of worldliness-caused infirmity
While yearning for His joy and tranquillity.
God corrects me with His mercy so I can attain biblical maturity!
God pities me in my woes, feeling worthless
Wallowing in the futility of slothfulness
Afflicted with the guilt of fruitlessness
Pleading for His compassion* and faithfulness.
God instructs me to serve Him thru His power to enjoy His bountifulness!
*Psalm 86:15 ...Thou, O Lord, art a God full of compassion, and gracious, longsuffering, and plenteous in mercy and truth.
