~MoO MoO~: Thank You Lord

Thank you, Lord,
for the trials that come my way.
In that way I can grow each day
as I let you lead,
And thank you, Lord,
for the patience those trials bring.
In that process of growing,
I can learn to care.

But it goes against the way
I am to put my human nature down
and let the Spirit take control of all I do.

'Cause when those trials come,
my human nature shouts the thing to do;
and God's soft prompting
can be easily ignored.

I thank you, Lord,
with each trial I feel inside,
that you're there to help,
lead and guide me away from wrong.
'Cause you promised, Lord,
that with every testing,
that your way of escaping is easier to bear.

But it goes against the way
I am to put my human nature down
and let the Spirit take control of all I do.

'Cause when those trials come,
my human nature shouts the thing to do;
and God's soft prompting
can be easily ignored.

I thank you, Lord,
for the victory that growing brings.
In surrender of everything
life is so worth while.
And I thank you, Lord,
that when everything's put in place,
out in front I can see your face,
and it's there you belong.

Been singing this hymn since secondary 2. Absolutely love it. One of the most unforgettable hymns. And yeah... till now, i'm still learning how to thank Him for the things/people/trials/lessons/challenges he places in my life. I still don't think i am able to accept things as they are. I'm still defiant. Still refusing to go the way He wants me to. Can someone please teach me how to place my life in His hands without worrying? I know i should trust Him. But how? It doesn't come just like that *snap fingers* , you know? Sometimes, life depends on the individual. So when does it depend on Him? And when on me? How should i decide?

YYY
