Philippians Two Twelve

"...work out your own salvation with fear and trembling," meaning, you're alone physically, find a way out; do all you can humanly, it's all the same thing yet the Lord is with you, never without. When faced with such terrible dilemmas quickly turn to the Lord, for He hears thee; though the problem faced are all fracas' I made it through, oh! truly believe me. Alone, and yet with God by thy side face must you, all the hungry tides; there'll be a time, when you're all alone still prayers said, much like on a phone. So weary thou may be, faced with abuse carry on, do not fail or misconstrue; till the End, when God takes His throne safe we will be, never alone. Remember these words that fill the wise like fish on a grill, with a side of fries; alone and yet, never alone the Lord with thee, thine prayers to hone. Philippians 2:12 (in excerpt) states: "...work out your own salvation with fear and trembling." Amen!

thanks! Alfred; to God be glory! yes sometimes i feel overwhelmed, but just turn to God and pray. still this journey is fraught with potholes and choosing the best reaction sometimes means "turning the other cheek", and practising patience. cheers!

there'll be a time, when you have to face tribulations all by yourself; that's not a bad thing, if you can stomach it. but alone and yet not alone, for God is always with you; this is indeed a mystery! He is always with us, in our trials, doth the Father not love us? yes! so, dear friends, walk the path and waver not; for He loves us!
