Trust in Allah
When every road seems lost from view,
Remember Allah carries you.
What slips away was never meant,
His wisdom comes with every event.
The night may feel too long to bear,
Yet mercy fills the silent air.
For every tear your heart has known,
He counts each one before it’s shown.
You plant the seed, He sends the rain,
He writes the ease behind the pain.
The door that closed, the dream delayed,
Were part of how His mercy stayed.
Don’t measure life by what you see;
His plan extends beyond the sea.
A thread may look too weak to hold,
Yet He weaves stories bright as gold.
When fear begins to cloud your sight,
Remember dawn will follow night.
So trust the One whose promise stands,
The Lord of all, with perfect plans.
Be patient when the answers wait,
What’s yours will never come too late.
With every prayer and whispered plea,
He knows what is, and what will be.
So place your heart in His command,
And walk with faith, though you don’t understand.
For every path that He has drawn
Will lead, by His grace, to a brighter dawn.
