Poetry

Consider it pure joy whenever facing trials,
As a testing of faith perseverance prevails;
Giving you the power of continuing in hope,
In facing obstacles in life as for to cope;
Having its full effect to make me complete,
With help from God I shall never say defeat;
If anyone lacks the knowledge and wisdom,
Then seek God through His Heavenly Kingdom;
Who gives freely to all with no unkind word,
He'll always ensure your query is answered;
There is never any request be ever ignored,
Whenever directing your prayer to the Lord.
As tribulations might cause you affliction,
Never even consider that God has forsaken;
He is loving and caring more than you know,
His concern in dealing through every woe;
As long as you accept Him as your Father,
While Jesus Christ shall be your Brother;
Follow His rules as you commit your life,
He shall curtail hardships and your strife.
