When thoughts terrify
threaten tumult
time and again…
torturous tormenting
with trials and tricks
that trample peace
joy and hope
the Past overtaking Tomorrow…
when faith tumbles as thoughts
test, tempt toward destruction–
Turn your eyes upon JESUS
trust the Lord God–
talk to Him, tell Him everything
be led by Good Shepherd
accept His Timing…for
He will Defy the Tempter
tamp twirling-twisted tempest–
the Enemy’s tournament
always ends in our Victory
with true laurel, gold Testimony🏆
