Why things happen as they do

Why Things Happen As They Do

Why things happen as they do, we do not always know,
And we cannot always fathom, why our spirits sink so low.

We flounder in our dark distress, we are wavering and unstable,
But when we’re most inadequate, The Lord God is always able.

For though we are incapable, God is powerful and great,
And there’s no darkness of the mind That God can’t penetrate.

And all that is required of us, whenever things go wrong
Is to trust in God implicitly, with a faith that’s deep and strong.

And while He may not instantly, unravel all the strands
Of the tangled thoughts that trouble us, He completely understands.

And in His time, if we have faith, He will gradually restore
The brightness to our spirit hat we’ve been longing for….

So remember, there’s no cloud too dark, for God’s light to penetrate
If we keep on believing and have faith enough to wait!
