Re-taking Life's Tests

Some storms in life seem to reoccur
Or the same steep mountains to climb
Giving us another chance to pass
God’s lesson and test, one more time

I had hoped things would work out okay
I have tried to keep a positive attitude
But it’s hard not knowing the future
And still try stay in a hopeful mood 

When those 3am fearful thoughts come
That leave a tightness in your chest
When you’re trying so hard not to quit
And to not feel defeated or stressed

Lord, I need your strength to cope
I can’t go through this again on my own
Please help me to not lose hope
And keep my focused on you alone

To help me pass this test this time
I will study your Word in preparation
Sustained by your calming peace
Passing well will be cause for celebration
