Pray Without Ceasing

I'm tested and tried  
For my Faith every day  
I cannot always understand  
Even though I humbly pray.  

Tests of pain with suffering  
So often come in my way  
Temptations to sin allure me  
Even though I humbly pray.

It's an honor to serve God
With Faith, I trust and obey  
I'll just keep walking on  
And continue to humbly pray.  

Trials and burdens test me
Blue skies often turn to gray  
God gives strength to endure
So I'll trust and humbly pray.

God is faithful and true
Troubles at His feet I lay  
He will see me on through  
If I'm faithful to humbly pray.  

I must pray without ceasing
Living for God is the only way
I may not always understand  
Even though I humbly pray.
