A prayer for times of trial

Posted in spiritual

There are times when trials press hard on our lives and we find exactly how strong our faith is.  God, in His goodness and mercy, uses these times of trial to teach us to depend on him more fully.  This song is a beautiful heart cry from one whose desire is to be 'conformed into the likeness of His son' (Rom. 8:29) through the trials of life.

Jesus, Draw Me Ever Nearer                   By Margaret Becker

Jesus, draw me ever nearer, as I wander through the storm.  You have called me to this passage, and I'll follow, though I'm worn.

May this journey bring a blessing, may I rise on wings of faith.  And at the end of my hearts testing, with your likeness let me wake.

Jesus, guide me through the tempest, keep my spirit staid and sure.  And when the midnight meets the morning, let me love you even more.

May this journey bring a blessing, may I rise on wings of faith.  And at the end of my hearts testing, with your likeness let me wake.

Let the treasures of the trial, form within me as I go.  And at the end of this long passage, let me leave them at your throne.

May this journey bring a blessing, may I rise on wings of faith.  And at the end of my hearts testing, with your likeness let me wake.
