On the Path

On the path I was walking,
my faith was not going to be tested by suffering.
My faith was going to ground me
as I walked through suffering in the world.
On the path, I could rest assured
that even though I trembled
in the valley of the shadow of death,
I was still walking with God.
For you see...on the path we walk,
our faith does not need to be tested by suffering.
Our faith grounds us as we walk through the suffering of the world.
Even though we tremble in the valley of the shadow of death,
we still walk with God.
