Be Courageous and Strong

Trials in this world are never meant to last

When you want something, turn to God and ask

He will give you everything you need and much more

All that you ask for and you will not be discontent anymore

Just as long as you remain firm and steadfast in the faith

And endure through the pains and sorrows until Judgement Day

Doubts and anxieties in this earthly life are inevitable

But every single hardship you come across you can handle

Before the presence of the LORD bow down and tremble

He will keep you safe in His fortress when the earth crumbles

Do not forsake your priorities and services to the Father

Sacrifice your wants and needs; above all, God's happiness matters

Will the men surrounding you destroy you, trample you to the ground

Are you not being protected by God, who raises you up when you are down

You are not perfect, for if you were, you might have ended up like Lucifer

Whose heart was so lifted he wanted to ascend the throne of the Father

As a punishment, he was cast down to the lowest pits of the earth

Now he wanders around like a lion in search of victims to devour

We must not give into his will, do not fall into the devil's traps and temptation

Lest you will be given over to a depraved mind and jeopardize your salvation

Imprint the Holy Scriptures on your new heart of flesh, which was once made of stone

And you will live a life full of righteousness, joy, faith, love, and hope

It will not be easy to overcome your hardships in life; there will be sorrow and pain

But if you put God first, all else will follow; your actions will pay off on Judgement Day.
